In the final super-G World Cup of the season, Stifel U.S. Ski Team athlete Keely Cashman led the way for the Americans with a 10th-place finish, while Breezy Johnson followed closely in 14th.

Racing on the Kvitfjell track, athletes faced windy and cold conditions on a course that was set open and fast, rewarding those willing to take risks from the start. With speed carrying throughout the track, a clean, aggressive line was key to securing a strong result.

Cashman, starting with bib two, battled through a challenging top section before finding her rhythm. She made up nearly a second on the lower portion of the course, leading to a stint in the leader’s chair early in the race. As the field progressed, she was bumped down to 10th, ultimately closing out her super-G season ranked 14th overall.

“I was happy with some parts of my run. Some parts could have gotten a little better but overall its been a good season for me,” said Cashman. “I definitely want to get on that podium and I'm already excited to start next season.”

Johnson capped her super-G season with another solid top-15 performance in 14th. Mary Bocock, competing in her first World Cup Finals, delivered a strong effort to finish 20th with Mikaela Shiffrin crossing the line in 22nd place. 

“This season has been an absolute dream. I didn’t even think I would be here,” said Bocock. “I am looking forward to next season and building more and more!”

On the men’s side, Ryan Cochran-Siegle led the U.S. results in 12th. Despite struggling to find a consistent rhythm on course, he closed out the season with valuable experience and momentum heading into the offseason.

“It was a good fight,” said Cochran-Siegle. “I feel like with this course there are moments that I didn't match what I needed to do and I just wasn't able to execute that exactly.” 

River Radamus also took on his first career super-G Finals, finishing 17th. He will shift his focus to giant slalom for one final World Cup start of the season.

The winner of the women’s race was Italian force Sofia Goggia who also walked away with the FIS Crystal Globe in the discipline. The winner of the men’s race was also an Italian, Dominik Paris. The winner of the men’s Crystal Globe was Swiss star Marco Odermatt. 

With the conclusion of the super-G, the speed events are officially wrapped for both the men’s and women’s fields. Attention now turns to the technical races in Hafjell, Norway, where the final World Cup points of the season will be decided, including the fight for the overall. Stifel U.S. Ski Team's Mikaela Shiffrin currently tops the overall standings with Germany's Emma Aicher on her tails - just 45 points back. It will all come down to the slalom and giant slalom, slated for Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.

The opening day of World Cup Finals delivered an exciting start to the week, highlighted by Stifel U.S. Ski Team athlete Breezy Johnson skiing to second place in the downhill, capping off a stellar season to secure third overall in the downhill standings.

“I'll go back and keep working, but I'm so happy and I feel like it's been a great season,” said Johnson. “Laura had a very great run and deserved it today.”

The winner of the race for the women was Italy’s Laura Pirovano who also won the FIS Crystal Globe in downhill. In third place was Germany’s Keira Weidel-Winkelmann

The result marks a career-best World Cup downhill ranking for Johnson and highlights her consistency and speed throughout the season. Her performance also helped the Stifel U.S. Ski Team women maintain their lead in the women’s Nations Cup overall standings, which will be decided in the final races later in the week.

“I think there's more to figure out and to go improve and I have all summer to do that," added Johnson. "But I know that I'm skiing very well right now, so I'm proud.”

Teammate Jackie Wiles closed out a strong season with a 14th-place finish on the day, locking in 13th overall in the downhill standings. Lindsey Vonn finished fifth in the overall downhill rankings, despite missing the finals races from an injury she sustained at the Olympic Games. 

“It's a solid result, but it's nowhere near what I really had hoped for today,” said Wiles. “I'm still proud of the season and really excited that it was a year that I'm proud of.” 

Rounding out the women’s results, Allison Mollin skied to 18th place in her first-ever World Cup Finals appearance, gaining valuable experience on one of the sport’s biggest stages.

On the men’s side, Ryan Cochran-Siegle led the way for the U.S. team, finishing 16th in the downhill and securing ninth overall in the season-long downhill standings. 

The World Cup Finals action continues with super-G races set for Sunday.

The Stifel U.S. Ski Team announces the 12 athletes qualified for World Cup Finals in Lillehammer, Norway, March 21-25, 2026. The athletes achieved their spots by ranking in the top 25 in a discipline following the conclusion of the regular FIS Alpine World Cup season or by accumulating more than 500 World Cup points throughout the season. The group consists of 10 women and two men across slalom, giant slalom, super-G and downhill. 

Olympic silver medalist Ryan Cochran-Siegle headlines the men’s team in speed, qualifying in both super-G and downhill. On the tech side, River Radamus qualified in giant slalom and super-G.

Downhill Olympic champion Breezy Johnson highlights the women’s speed team alongside Olympic bronze medalist in the team combined Jackie Wiles. Speed star Lindsey Vonn also qualified in both downhill and super-G, but will not compete due to an injury she sustained at the Olympic Games. 

The women’s tech side is headlined by the winningest alpine skier of all time Mikaela Shiffrin, who won her third Olympic gold medal in the Milano Cortina slalom. Shiffrin has also won eight of nine slalom races this season and clinched the FIS Crystal Globe in slalom in late January. The race for the overall Crystal Globe is tight, and Shiffrin will head into Finals with a 140-point lead and a plan to ski super-G, giant slalom, and slalom. While Shiffrin qualified in GS and slalom by finishing in the top 25 rank of both disciplines, she scored more than 500 World Cup points throughout the season and is eligible to start any event.

The stacked women’s team is also highlighted by Olympic bronze medalist in team combined Paula Moltzan, who will compete in both giant slalom and slalom. Moltzan also had a stand-out season, stepping on the podium five times. 

There is an impressive number of first-time World Cup Finals qualifiers, including Mary Bocock, Keely Cashman and Allison Mollin. All three have shown top performances in speed disciplines this season. 

“We are so proud of the 12 Stifel U.S. Ski Team athletes qualified for the 2026 World Cup Finals,” said U.S. Ski & Snowboard Chief of Sport Anouk Patty. “We know how hard these athletes work all year round to reach this point in their careers and we are positive they will end the World Cup tour on a high note.”

On the final day of the FIS Junior World Championships in Narvik, Norway U.S. athlete Maximilien Hoder won his first Junior Worlds medal, bronze. Hoder led the strong team result day as three other men joined him in the top 10. Jevin Palmquist fourth, Stanley Buzek fifth and John Kerbaugh in eighth. 

“I felt confident coming into the day with my skiing but I didn’t think I would end up on the podium,” said Hoder.  “Second run I knew I was in a good position to claim a place on the podium and I was definitely feeling the nerves in the gate. I tried to focus on the skiing and keep a technical and tactical goal for my run to keep my mind off the results. Overall very happy.” 

It has been tricky weather the past two weeks with World Juniors leading to variable and unpredictable conditions, but the men knew they would need to full send in order to be competitive with the strong group of men’s tech skiers. Hoder had not only a strong first run but an equally competitive second run to keep his mark on the podium. Teammates Palmquist and Kerbaugh had big moves on the second run, adding to the great team result. Buzek also had another steady run and slid easily into a top-five position. 

“I knew what was possible and wanted to swing hard for it. I’m proud it all came together, and proud of Team U.S. for showing the world what we’re made of,” said Kerbaugh. 

The U.S. team will end the World Juniors run with four medals. Three silver and one bronze.

Stifel U.S. Ski Team athlete Mikaela Shiffrin continued her electric season on Sunday, winning the women’s slalom in Åre for her 109th career World Cup victory and 72nd career slalom win. Teammates Paula Moltzan and AJ Hurt also put together solid performances, finishing fifth and 14th.

Åre has long been a special venue for Shiffrin, and Sunday’s win marked her eighth victory on the Swedish hill, adding yet another chapter to her history at the venue.

On run one under sunny Åre skies, Shiffrin attacked with her classic slalom precision to take the lead by half a second. In run two, she stayed locked in, skiing fast and controlled to secure the victory by nearly one second. 

“It was quite challenging and kind of hard to predict how the skis would react on the surface today,” said Shiffrin. “Some turns were really good and some turns had some traps, but I felt really strong with my equipment and was pushing.”

Moltzan followed up her giant slalom podium from Saturday with another solid performance, finishing fifth and continuing a consistent slalom season.

"I am happy to find some good sections of skiing in salty spring snow with plenty of mistakes too," said Moltzan. "But happy to get another top five to complete a solid weekend in Åre! The level of slalom skiing right now is so high; it’s amazing to be a competitor in it."

Also finishing within the top 15 was Hurt in 14th place. Katie Hensien did not finish the second run. Nina O’Brien and Liv Moritz also raced but did not qualify for the second run, while Elisabeth Bocock did not finish the first run.

Sunday’s race marked the final World Cup event of the regular season before the top 25 athletes in each discipline head to Norway for the World Cup Finals and one last opportunity to earn points. The U.S. women’s team will enter the Finals with momentum, leading the Nations Cup standings in giant slalom, slalom and the overall.

Meanwhile, Shiffrin has already secured the slalom Crystal Globe, her 16th career globe, and will look to earn the overall Crystal Globe when the season concludes. If she does, it would mark her sixth overall title, tying the record set by Annemarie Moser-Pröll of Austria. Shiffrin currently leads the standings by 140 points over Germany’s Emma Aicher who is closing the gap in these final races, making for a thrilling end to the season. 

“It doesn't matter how hard you push or how much effort you put in—you can only get a certain number of points,” said Shiffrin. “Today Emma was skiing so strong and I felt like I put my life on the line. We're getting a really exciting finale to the season, so I will fight for the overall, but I want to take my hat off to her for the season she’s had.”

World Cup Finals kick off with the speed events March 21.

Women's slalom

On Saturday’s final regular season World Cup giant slalom, Stifel U.S. Ski Team athlete Paula Moltzan skied to her fifth World Cup podium this season, claiming second place. Teammates Mikaela Shiffrin, AJ Hurt and Nina O’Brien also came out firing, with Shiffrin in fifth, Hurt ninth and O'Brien 15th. 

“It was a challenging course but so fun,” said Moltzan. “It feels really nice to be on the podium again.”

Under sunny skies in Åre, Sweden, the racers faced a slick and fast surface that demanded precision and aggression from the start. The tight race came down to two strong runs, with Moltzan pushing the pace on both to stay firmly in the hunt for the podium.

“I had a really nice first run which is super key here,” said Moltzan. “The second run was a little scrappy but I was pushing.” 

It was Moltzan's 10th World Cup podium in her career; half of her podiums have come in the 2025-26 season. 

Shiffrin also delivered a strong performance, skiing into fifth place despite a massive first run error. Wearing bib six, she was in the lead by more than a half second before a sizable mistake set her back 2.29 seconds off the pace. But her result put her in a strong position for a run two jump, and she executed to jump from 12th place to fifth. The result also gained her valuable World Cup points toward the FIS Overall Crystal Globe heading into the final races. 

"I felt really good mentally both runs," said Shiffrin. "The mistake was a bit of a problem, but at least I could fight for a second run and move up."  

Hurt added another top-10 result in ninth, while O’Brien rounded out a strong team showing in 15th. With four athletes finishing in the top 15, the Stifel U.S. Ski Team capped off the regular season giant slalom with one of its strongest collective results of the winter. 

The winner of the race was Austrian Julia Scheib who secured the FIS Crystal Globe in the giant slalom discipline. New Zealand's Alice Robinson took third place. 

The World Cup tour now turns to the World Cup Finals where the world’s top athletes will compete in the last races of the season and Crystal Globes in Lillehammer, Norway March 21-25. 

RESULTS
Women's giant slalom

Stifel U.S. Ski Team athlete Elisabeth Bocock earned her fourth career FIS World Junior Championships medal, taking silver in the giant slalom in Narvik, Norway.

Bocock has established herself as one of the top young giant slalom skiers on the World Cup circuit, regularly finishing in the top 30. Entering the race as one of the favorites, she knew she would need to push to land on the podium.

“I am really excited about the result today,” said Bocock. “It’s been a long time since I reached the finish line, so I was happy to get that done with a good result. I was frustrated with my first run today, but I was happy to be able to send it more in the second run and move up a couple spots.”

Weather has made conditions in Narvik particularly challenging throughout the championships, with rain and warm temperatures testing the race organizers and athletes alike.

“The course workers have worked super hard with the challenging conditions, so a massive thank you to them for getting the slope prepped,” Bocock added.

The men will race giant slalom on Friday, with slalom set to close out the championships this weekend.
