Crans-Montana Women’s Super-G Start List
Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup
Only three women’s Super-G races have been completed so far this season, leaving the discipline unusually difficult to interpret. With such a limited sample, every result carries extra weight — and that is especially true in Crans-Montana, the site of the 2027 FIS Alpine World Championships and the final women’s World Cup race before the Olympic Games.
Below, you’ll find the official start list, when and how to watch, key WCSL and standings context, and why Lindsey Vonn’s inclusion on the start list is major news, as the women get their last competitive look at this venue before both the Olympic Games and the 2027 World Championships.
Lindsey Vonn on the Start List: A Big Story
One of the most important developments ahead of this Super-G is Lindsey Vonn’s presence on the official start list.
Vonn crashed in Friday’s downhill and was clearly injured to some degree. However, athletes are not left on a World Cup start list if it is certain they cannot race, making her inclusion a very positive sign, even if she remains a game-time decision.
Whether she ultimately starts or not, her presence alone suggests the injury is not definitively race-ending — significant news given her central role in the speed disciplines this season.
Super-G Podiums This Season (2025–26)
| Venue | 1st | 2nd | 3rd |
|---|---|---|---|
| St. Moritz | 🇳🇿 Alice Robinson | 🇫🇷 Romane Miradoli | 🇮🇹 Sofia Goggia |
| Val d’Isère | 🇮🇹 Sofia Goggia | 🇳🇿 Alice Robinson | 🇺🇸 Lindsey Vonn |
| Tarvisio | 🇩🇪 Emma Aicher | 🇺🇸 Lindsey Vonn | 🇨🇿 Ester Ledecká |
Through three Super-G races: three different winners, six different podium finishers, and podiums shared across six countries. Italy, the USA, and New Zealand lead with two podiums each, followed by France, Germany, and the Czech Republic with one apiece — underscoring just how open the discipline remains.
TOP FIVE — Women’s Super-G Standings (after Tarvisio)
- 🇮🇹 Sofia Goggia (ITA, 1992, Atomic) — 200 pts
- 🇺🇸 Lindsey Vonn (USA, 1984, Head) — –10
- 🇳🇿 Alice Robinson (NZL, 2001, Salomon) — –20
- 🇫🇷 Romane Miradoli (FRA, 1994, Dynastar) — –41
- 🇩🇪 Emma Aicher (GER, 2003, Head) — –76
With so few races completed, the standings remain highly fluid. One result can still swing the discipline.
TOP SEVEN on start list — WCSL super G (Bib Order)
- Bib 6 — 🇳🇴 Kajsa Vickhoff Lie (NOR, 1998, Head) — WCSL SG rank 4
- Bib 7 — 🇳🇿 Alice Robinson (NZL, 2001) — WCSL SG rank 8
- Bib 8 — 🇮🇹 Elena Curtoni (ITA, 1991, Head) — WCSL SG rank 7
- Bib 9 — 🇮🇹 Federica Brignone (ITA, 1990) — WCSL SG rank 2
- Bib 11 — 🇫🇷 Romane Miradoli (FRA, 1994) — WCSL SG rank 5
- Bib 13 — 🇮🇹 Sofia Goggia (ITA, 1992, Atomic) — WCSL SG rank 1
- Bib 15 — 🇺🇸 Lindsey Vonn (USA, 1984, Head / Oakley) — WCSL SG rank 6
A notable subplot is Federica Brignone’s return to speed racing. This Super-G marks her first speed start since her injury and is her only speed race this season before the home Olympic Games in Cortina. That context adds extra weight to her presence on the start list, even in a discipline that has been difficult to interpret given the few races completed.

Why This Super-G Is Hard to Read
With only three Super-G races completed, no repeat winner, and podiums spread widely across athletes and nations, true hierarchy has yet to form. Alice Robinson’s emergence suggests momentum, while the continued presence of Goggia and Vonn provides continuity — but clarity remains elusive.
Crans-Montana may offer answers, or simply reinforce how unsettled women’s super-G remains heading into the Olympic break and toward the 2027 World Championships on this very slope.
