Emma Aicher won the Tarvisio Super-G with a flawless run, finishing 1.22 seconds ahead of teammate Kira Weidle-Winkelmann, while Lindsey Vonn was 0.27 seconds behind in second and Ester Ledecka 0.94 seconds back.

Aicher’s victory comes just 19 days before the Milan-Cortina Olympic Winter Games, underscoring her status as a leading Olympic medal contender and highlighting her growing prominence on the global stage.

This win marks Aicher’s second World Cup victory of the 2025/26 season, following a December downhill win in St. Moritz, and solidifies her position as one of Germany’s top all-round skiers with multiple top-10 finishes.

The Tarvisio event faced fog and changing visibility, mirroring the conditions from the previous day’s downhill on the same course.

The women’s World Cup circuit resumes with a giant slalom in Kronplatz, Italy, on Tuesday, where Federica Brignone could return to competition after a serious leg injury.

Germany’s DSV Speed Team, led by Weidle-Winkelmann and Aicher, is boosting medal prospects ahead of the Milan-Cortina Olympics.

Alice Robinson crashed near the finish but was able to stand and was cleared of injuries, though she lost valuable World Cup points.

Kira Weidle-Winkelmann, who had been second in the previous day’s downhill, finished eighth (+1.22) as part of Germany’s Olympic medal hopes.

Tarvisio’s nebelverhangene conditions and unfamiliar terrain marked one of the last speed events in Tarvisio before the Olympics, serving as a preparatory race for athletes.

Lindsey Vonn remains a major favorite for speed events at the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympics, with the full program scheduled for February.

Germany’s women’s team showed depth with podiums from Aicher, Weidle-Winkelmann, and Lena Dürr, highlighting strong form ahead of the Olympics.

Aicher and Weidle-Winkelmann have multiple podiums this season, establishing them as likely contenders for Olympic success.
