Loïc Meillard (SUI) won the Schladming night giant slalom in 2:14.38, securing his second giant slalom victory of the season through exemplary consistency (2nd in both runs). But under the Planai floodlights before 45,000 spectators, a young Frenchman stole the show: Alban Elezi Cannaferina, posting the fastest second run (1:06.04), claimed third place at just 22 years old (+0.90), earning his first-ever World Cup podium. Lucas Pinheiro Braathen (BRA), leader at halfway by just six hundredths, faltered in the final to settle for second (+0.73). On brutally icy conditions, the race claimed 20 DNFs, while Marco Odermatt (SUI) never found his rhythm (4th, +1.26).

Mikaela Shiffrin (USA) dominated the Spindleruv Mlyn slalom in 1:37.59, winning both runs with a massive 1.67-second margin over Camille Rast (SUI) and 2.18 over Emma Aicher (GER). The American secured her 108th World Cup victory and mathematically clinched a record-breaking 9th slalom crystal globe—an absolute record in World Cup history that no skier, male or female, had ever achieved. Final technical rehearsal before the Milano-Cortina Olympics.

Fifteen years on, Tarvisio returned to the World Cup with a familiar twist: fog sitting mid-slope and a long interruption after an incident. In those conditions, Nicol Delago produced the cleanest run to claim her first victory, ahead of Kira Weidle-Winkelmann (+0.20) and Lindsey Vonn (+0.26), who now has five podiums from five downhills this season.

Marco Schwarz (AUT) ended Marco Odermatt’s (SUI) five-race winning streak in the giant slalom (2:35.02) at Alta Badia, while Atle Lie McGrath (NOR) claimed his 4th career slalom victory (1:44.50) in the final technical races before the Christmas break. The weekend saw unexpected heroics—like Fabian Gratz’s (GER) +24-place comeback to 5th—and disappointments, including Henrik Kristoffersen’s (NOR) 11th-place slalom finish. With Odermatt still leading the overall standings (805 pts) and Brennsteiner (AUT) overtaking in giant slalom, the globe races heat up as skiers prepare for the super-G in Livigno (Dec 27).

Sofia Goggia (ITA) won the Val d’Isère Super-G in 1:20.24, ahead of Alice Robinson (NZL, +0.15) and Lindsey Vonn (USA, +0.36). But the real surprise came from Camille Cerutti (FRA), who finished 5th at just +0.80, thanks to blazing early sectors. Romane Miradoli (8th) and Laura Gauché (outside top 15) had mixed fortunes, while Cornelia Hütter (6th) disappointed a little.
