Federica Brignone uppnådde lördag en historisk bedrift genom att vinna den olympiska storslalomen i Cortina (2:13.50), hennes andra guld på fyra dagar efter super-G. Vid 35 års ålder, tio månader efter dubbelfraktur skenben-vadben och korsbandsriv, dominerade italienskan från start till mål med 0,62 sekunders försprång. Pallen visar en sällsynt särart: Sara Hector (SWE) och Thea Louise Stjernesund (NOR) delar silvret med strikt identiska tider i Å1 OCH Å2 (2:14.12). Italien placerar tre åkare i topp 10: Della Mea 4:a (snabbaste S3 Å2), Goggia 10:a, Zenere 14:a (snabbaste Å2 delad). Mikaela Shiffrin slutar 11:a, åtta olympiska tävlingar i rad utan medalj. Tallulah Proulx (PHI, 52:a) blir första filippinska kvinnan vid vinter-OS.

Lucas Pinheiro Braathen uppnådde fredag en historisk bedrift genom att vinna den olympiska storslalomen i Bormio (2:25.00) och ge Brasilien och Sydamerika deras allra första olympiska vinterguld. Den 25-årige brasilianaren, född och uppväxt i Oslo, startade med nummer 1 och dominerade första åket med 0,95 sekunders försprång (största marginal sedan 1988) och hanterade sedan andra åket intelligent på tung snö för att slå Marco Odermatt (+0,58) och Loïc Meillard (+1,17). Odermatt lämnar Milano-Cortina med 3 medaljer men inget individuellt guld (4:a störtlopp, brons super-G, silver lagkombination, silver storslalom). Schweiz placerar tre åkare i topp 4 (Odermatt, Meillard, Tumler). Fabian Ax Swartz slutade 22:a för Sverige. Norge har blandade känslor: McGrath 5:a, Kristoffersen 7:a — men talangen de byggde dansar nu i grönt och gult.

Federica Brignone achieved a historic feat Thursday by winning the Olympic Super-G in Cortina (1:23.41), ten months after a tibia-fibula double fracture that threatened her career. At 35, the Italian claimed her first individual Olympic gold ahead of France’s Romane Miradoli (+0.41), who gave French women’s alpine skiing its first medal since 2002, and Austria’s Cornelia Hütter (+0.52). The race was marked by unprecedented carnage: 16 DNFs among 42 starters (38%), including Sofia Goggia (leading at mid-course), Breezy Johnson (crash), Emma Aicher, and Ester Ledecka. Changing visibility conditions with progressive fog trapped favorites, crowning the most consistent and experienced skiers.

Franjo von Allmen achieved a historic feat Wednesday by winning the Olympic Super-G in Bormio (1:25.32), his third title in five days following downhill and team combined. The 24-year-old Swiss joins Jean-Claude Killy and Toni Sailer as the only skiers to win three golds at a single Olympic Games. He also becomes the first man to complete the Olympic downhill-Super-G double. American Ryan Cochran-Siegle claims silver (+0.13), his second consecutive in the discipline, while Marco Odermatt salvages a frustrated bronze (+0.28). Nils Allègre, heroic with bib 1, falls three hundredths short of the podium after a remarkable Olympic week (8th downhill, 5th team combined, 4th Super-G).

American Breezy Johnson won Sunday’s Olympic downhill in Cortina d’Ampezzo (1:36.10), delivering the United States its first gold medal of Milano-Cortina 2026. At 30, she narrowly edged Germany’s Emma Aicher (+0.04) and Italy’s Sofia Goggia (+0.59), who captured her third consecutive Olympic downhill medal. The race was marked by Lindsey Vonn’s violent crash as she attempted to compete despite a severely damaged knee. Thirteen seconds after the start, the American caught a gate with her pole, triggering a rotation and heavy fall. Evacuated by helicopter after a 30-minute interruption, Vonn was transported to hospital. Updates on her condition are awaited.

Franjo von Allmen captured Saturday’s first gold medal of Milano-Cortina 2026 by winning the men’s downhill in Bormio (1:51.61). At 24, the Swiss racer edged Italy’s Giovanni Franzoni (+0.20), who dedicated his silver to Matteo Franzoso, who died in September, and Dominik Paris (+0.50), finally an Olympic medalist after five Games. Marco Odermatt, the heavy favorite, finished fourth (+0.70), knocked off the podium by Paris. Italy claimed two downhill medals at the same Olympics for the first time in history. Von Allmen, who nearly quit at 17 after his father’s death, became Olympic champion in his first Games with a flawless descent on the fearsome Stelvio.
