Mikaela Shiffrin off the podium today (Edit: Oops...I thought this was slalom, not Giant Slalom.). Nina Astner entered the 2nd run in 30th place, but had the best second run, jumping up 18 places to 12th.

Tough morning for W Giant Slalom...almost 30% of the field DNFed.

Check Post 2 on this thread (and those of all other winter sports) to see a compilation of results from this first part of the World Cup season. Coming in January: Olympic rosters!

Ouch for China, losing Gold in three disciplines, not even making to GMM in one...all in front of a home crowd.

Japan just had their nationals and announced their team: https://www.olympics.com/en/milano-cortina-2026/news/figure-skating-japan-team-announcement-milano-cortina-2026 The Miura/Kihara pair withdrew from nationals due to her dislocated shoulder, but because of their record during GP, they had no trouble being selected, and are definitely in medal contention. As for the women, it was Sakamoto, Chiba, and Nakai who made the cut. (I was rooting for Nakai...love her Wonderful World routine.)

Wright with 2 misses, ends up 7th, only 44 secs behind. Hopefully he can shoot a little cleaner in the future. Good work! Got post 2 updated with all the results from the weekend.

Again with a medal for Vonn . She seems to be the real deal still. No worse than 4th this year.

Wyatt finally beats his compatriot Weston for another 1-2 finish in Sigulda. Post 2 has all the results from the weekend.

Discipline Gold Silver Bronze M Large Hill 1 Domen Prevc Felix Hoffman Nikaido Ren W Large Hill 1 Maruyama Nozomi Nika Prevc Anna Odine Stroem Familiar names on today's podium. Maruyama has 8 medals already. Nika has 7. Domen has 8.

Still only German flags in 2-Man.

get gold in M Doubles and bronze in W Doubles!

Another day, another podium for Vonn and Odermatt ! (I had zero expectations for Vonn, but she's definitely proven herself!)

women go 2-3-4!

Doubles competition delayed until tomorrow.

I think 's athlete probably earned enough points today in the Quals of Halfpipe to get the nod. Will need to wait for confirmation, but I think so.

Love the Christmas decor!

Looks like get a Top 10 finish with Deedra Irwin! One day...maybe...we can medal in this event!

Italian men sweep the PGS again!

Shiffrin with another blowout win at Courchevel. More than a second and a half over Camille Rast. Lots of DNFs, too.

Yes, I later saw in the official qualifying docs that info. Guess we'll keep looking!

It seems there is no separate Olympic ranking, only World Cup ranking...at least, it's World Cup ranking that FIL will use to determine quotas. Per FIL: "Qualification for the Olympic luge competitions at Milano Cortina 2026 is based on the World Cup ranking list of the Olympic season."

Colturi and Ljutic and Liensberger DNFed the first round of Slalom today. (Shiffrin in the lead.)

Got Post 2 Updated with the latest results. Some Jordan Stolz facts for you (could be inaccurate, but it's by my quick calculation) He has entered 19 races. He has earned 14 Gold Medals. (5 out of 7 500m, all 4 1000m, all 4 1500m, and one Mass Start...had he ever done that?) He has earned 2 Bronze Medals. (Mass Start and 500m) He has only not medaled 3 times (twice in Mass Start, once in 500m). Dang.

Post 2 with combined results updated! Domen Prevc is unstoppable!

Got all the results updated in Post 2 for your convenience!
