Sofia Goggia raced toward another World Cup downhill title with a fifth win in her dominating season on Sunday.
Goggia raced through lightly falling snow and was fastest on the lower section of the Mont Lachaux course to finish 0.15 seconds ahead of Federica Brignone, her Italy teammate who matched a career-best result in downhill.
Laura Gauché wearing the No. 26 bib then placed third, 0.41 seconds behind Goggia, for a first career podium finish. The French racer’s previous best result in downhill was seventh. Goggia’s fifth win in seven World Cup downhills earned 100 race points and extended her lead in the season-long standings to 179 over Ilka Štuhec, who placed ninth.
Brignone, the 2020 overall champion, still seeks a first career downhill win though said she was “so proud of what I did today."
