Mikaela Shiffrin Returns to Super-G in Val di Fassa, Italy, as Overall Crystal Globe Battle Tightens - SnowBrains

"With only slightly more than a handful of races left in the 2025-26 FIS Alpine World Cup season, Shiffrin leads the overall standings with 1,133 points. Close behind is rising German star Emma Aicher with 1,016 points, while Camille Rast sits third with 963 points. Mathematically, even Sofia Goggia in fourth with 824 points still stands a chance of taking the lead."

"The dynamic between the four contenders is fascinating: Aicher competes in all four disciplines (Downhill, Super-G, Giant Slalom, Slalom), Shiffrin is competing in three (Super-G, Giant Slalom, Slalom), Rast focuses almost entirely on technical events, meaning she does not collect points in speed races, and Sofia Goggia is the Queen of Speed (Downhill and Super-G) but also competes in Giant Slalom."

"Shiffrin continues to dominate the discipline that built her legacy—she has claimed 71 of her 108 World Cup victories in this discipline. She currently holds 780 points in Slalom, an enormous lead over Rast, who sits 288 points behind."

Mikaela Shiffrin will compete in the women's Super-G at Val di Fassa, marking a strategic return to a discipline she has rarely raced in the past two seasons. With seven races remaining in the 2025-26 FIS Alpine World Cup season, Shiffrin leads the overall standings with 1,133 points, followed closely by Emma Aicher at 1,016 points, Camille Rast at 963 points, and Sofia Goggia at 824 points. The four contenders compete across different discipline combinations: Aicher competes in all four disciplines, Shiffrin in three, Rast focuses on technical events, and Goggia specializes in speed events. The title race remains mathematically open with multiple variables affecting the outcome. Shiffrin dominates slalom with 780 points and 71 of her 108 World Cup victories in that discipline.
