Among women, Sofia Goggia of Italy is the overall leader with 482 points.

Goggia started the season by winning the first three races before clinching gold in the downhill event in Cortina d’Ampezzo.

However, she suffered a major injury before the Winter Olympics in Beijing.

The 29-year-old showed grit and determination to win a silver medal at Beijing 2022 before being placed 12th and 3rd in the downhill races in Crans Montana in Switzerland.  

Behind her is Olympic champion Corinne Suter.

The Swiss athlete is second overall and 75 points behind Goggia at 407.

However, Suter will be looking to add to her only World Cup victory of the season.

Austrian Ramona Siebenhoffer is third at 311 and Beijing 2022 parallel giant slalom gold medallist Ester Ledecka of Czech Republic is fourth with 303 points.

Four athletes will be vying for the Crystal Globe in the downhill event among men.

With 570 points, Norwegian, Aleksander Aamodt Kilde is leading the overall standings.

Kilde has three wins and four podiums at World Cup downhill events this season.

Twenty-three points behind him is Beat Feuz of Switzerland at 547.

Feuz, despite sealing six podiums this season, managed to win only once.

Just like the women, Austrian Matthias Mayer and Dominik Paris of Italy are sitting closely together in third and fourth at 486 and 482 respectively.
