How and when to watch. In this article you will find the full Women’s Super-G World Cup Finals start list, field analysis, season standings, and key contenders most likely to challenge for the podium.

The final Super-G of the 2025–26 World Cup season takes place in Lillehammer, Norway, on the Olympiabakken course — the same Olympic venue that has tested the world’s best speed skiers for decades.

With the Super-G globe still undecided, the race carries major weight. It is the last chance to score points, the final addition to the season-long narrative, and the moment where pressure often produces either brilliance or costly mistakes.

Super-G globe on the line: Goggia vs Robinson

Top Five – Women’s World Cup Super-G Standings (after 7 of 8 races)

1st 🇮🇹 Sofia Goggia (ITA, 1992, Atomic) — 449 pts
2nd 🇳🇿 Alice Robinson (NZL, 2001) — −63
3rd 🇩🇪 Emma Aicher (GER, 2003, Head) — −145
4th 🇳🇴 Kajsa Vickhoff Lie (NOR, 1998, Head) — −160
5th 🇫🇷 Romane Miradoli (FRA, 1994) — −189

Only two athletes can win the Super-G globe:

  • 🇮🇹 Sofia Goggia
  • 🇳🇿 Alice Robinson

Robinson must finish 1st or 2nd to have any chance at the title.

  • If Robinson wins, Goggia must finish 6th or better
  • If Robinson is 2nd, Goggia must finish 14th or better
  • Any other result secures the globe for Goggia

Still, Finals history shows that pressure can flip outcomes quickly. One mistake at this level costs time, positions, and sometimes titles.

Top Ten WCSL Super-G – Start Order (Who to watch and when)

The strongest group of speed skiers is tightly packed in the middle of the start list. This is where the race will likely be decided.

  • Bib 6 🇮🇹 Laura Pirovano (ITA, 1997, Head) — WCSL SG 10
  • Bib 7 🇨🇭 Malorie Blanc (SUI, 2004, Atomic) — WCSL SG 8
  • Bib 8 🇮🇹 Sofia Goggia (ITA, 1992, Atomic) — WCSL SG 1
  • Bib 9 🇫🇷 Romane Miradoli (FRA, 1994) — WCSL SG 4
  • Bib 10 🇳🇴 Kajsa Vickhoff Lie (NOR, 1998, Head) — WCSL SG 3
  • Bib 11 🇳🇿 Alice Robinson (NZL, 2001) — WCSL SG 2
  • Bib 12 🇮🇹 Elena Curtoni (ITA, 1991, Head) — WCSL SG 6
  • Bib 13 🇦🇹 Cornelia Hütter (AUT, 1992, Head) — WCSL SG 7
  • Bib 14 🇩🇪 Emma Aicher (GER, 2003, Head) — WCSL SG 5
  • Bib 15 🇨🇿 Ester Ledecká (CZE, 1995) — WCSL SG T-8

From bib 8 through 14, the globe contenders and most consistent podium athletes will attack the course in quick succession — the most critical viewing window of the race.

Stifel U.S. Ski Team — Women qualified for the Finals

Four Americans qualified among the top 25 in the season Super-G standings, with an additional start from Mikaela Shiffrin via the 500+ overall points rule:

  • Bib 2 🇺🇸 Keely Cashman (USA, 1999, Head) — Team Palisades Tahoe — Season SG rank 13
  • Bib 21 🇺🇸 Mary Bocock (USA, 2005) — Rowmark Ski Academy — Season SG rank T-22
  • Bib 23 🇺🇸 Breezy Johnson (USA, 1996, Atomic) — Rowmark Ski Academy — Season SG rank T-22
  • Bib 25 🇺🇸 Mikaela Shiffrin (USA, 1995, Atomic, Oakley) — Ski & Snowboard Club Vail / Burke Mountain Academy — 500+ overall points qualification
  • 🇺🇸 Lindsey Vonn (USA, 1984, Head, Oakley) — Ski & Snowboard Club Vail — Season SG rank 10 (qualified but will not start due to injury)

For the next generation, this race marks a milestone. Both Cashman and Bocock are competing in their first World Cup Finals, an important step and a strong signal for the future depth of the Stifel U.S. Ski Team.

Alpine Canada — Finals qualifier

  • Bib 24 🇨🇦 Valérie Grenier (CAN, 1996) — Season SG rank 25

Grenier claimed the final qualifying position, earning a start in the regular season finale and giving Alpine Canada representation in the field.

Shiffrin chasing points, Scheib building position

Two athletes outside the top 25 in Super-G will start thanks to their 500+ overall World Cup points, but for very different reasons:

  • Bib 25 🇺🇸 Mikaela Shiffrin (USA, 1995, Atomic, Oakley) — racing for overall points
  • Bib 22 🇦🇹 Julia Scheib (AUT, 1998) — racing to improve her Super-G start position for next season

For Shiffrin, the decision is strategic. With Emma Aicher close in the overall standings, every point matters. Aicher has developed into one of the strongest speed skiers this season, making the overall battle far more dynamic than in many years.

For Scheib, the goal is different. A strong result at Finals can improve her Super-G ranking and future start position, which is critical in speed events where early numbers often benefit from faster conditions.

At the World Cup Finals, only the top 15 score points, making both decisions a calculated gamble.

Junior World Champion — a debut opportunity

  • Bib 27 🇫🇷 Emy Charbonnier (FRA, 2005)

The Junior World Super-G Champion earns a start at Finals, and for Charbonnier, this will be her first World Cup race. The 20-year-old French skier steps directly into the sport’s highest level — a rare and significant opportunity.

Final thoughts: one race, one last push

Everything now comes down to a single run.

Goggia controls the standings, but Robinson still has a path. Behind them, a deep field — including rising stars, established podium athletes, and all-around contenders — will push the limit on one of the sport’s classic tracks.

At the World Cup Finals, there is no second chance. Only one run decides the race, the podium, and the Super-G season.

Course setter: Giovanni Feltrin (ITA)

Sunday’s super G takes place on March 22nd and begins at 5:45 a.m. EDT / 2:45 a.m. PDT. Fans in Great Britain can watch the race at 9:45
