After more than three years and a serious injury, Elena Curtoni returned to the top of the podium in an Alpine Ski World Cup event. The last time she won a race was in a Downhill in St. Moritz in December 2022.

After claiming her first Alpine Ski World Cup win and podium yesterday, Laura Pirovano repeated at the top of the podium in Val di Fassa in a super close race. The 28-year-old Italian ski triumphed again by the narrowest of margins, just 0.01 seconds ahead of Austria's Cornelia Hütter. Corinne Suter finished in third place, 0.05 seconds behind.
