2025 Women's Overall World Cup
Previous: 2024 Next: 2026

The women's overall competition in the 2025 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup is scheduled to consist of 37 events in four disciplines: downhill (DH) (8 races), super-G (SG) (9 races), giant slalom (GS) (10 races), and slalom (SL) (10 races).[1] After cancellations in both of the prior two seasons, the two downhills scheduled on the Matterhorn in mid-November were removed from the schedule.[2] Also, for the third straight season, only the four major disciplines will be contested on the World Cup circuit.

As is the case every odd year, the Alpine Skiing World Championships will take place, this time in Saalbach, Austria during 4–16 February 2025.[3]

Season summary

[edit]

The early season

[edit]

The first race of the season, a giant slalom scheduled as usual on the Rettenbach glacier in Sölden, Austria in October, was won by 2020 overall champion Federica Brignone of Italy, who rallied from third place after the opening run with the seventh-fastest time in the second run to overtake both of the racers ahead of her.[4] With the victory, Brignone, who is 34, became the oldest woman ever to win a World Cup race.[4] Because this race was held so early in the fall, neither 2016 and 2024 overall champion Lara Gut-Behrami of Switzerland nor 2021 overall champion Petra Vlhová of Slovakia had recovered from prior surgeries sufficiently to be able to compete, although Gut-Behrami entered the race but did not start. Three weeks later, picking up where she left off, five-time (2017–19, 2022–23) overall champion Mikaela Shiffrin of the United States won the slalom in Levi, Finland, giving her the season lead and an all-time record 98 total victories in World Cup skiing.[5] After the race, Shiffrin stated that "from this weekend, I am racing every single weekend until world championships, for sure. So it’s going be a really big push now."[5] Shiffrin then won her 99th career victory in another slalom the following week in Gurgl, Austria.[6]

In the very next race, at Shiffrin's "home" course in Killington, Vermont, US, Shiffrin made her first try for her 100th World Cup victory. As in the prior giant slalom in Sölden, she held the lead going into the second run. However, while still in the lead shortly after the midpoint of the course, she suffered a hard crash into the fencing, which resulted in her being stretchered off the course; the crash handed the win to Sara Hector of Sweden.[7] Shiffrin's injury was eventually diagnosed as an abdominal puncture wound (which could not be stitched up due to the possibility of infection) combined with "severe muscle trauma", and she was anticipated to miss at least the next two weeks.[8]

In the first race without Shiffrin, Camille Rast of Switzerland, who had posted her first two World Cup podiums ever by placing third in the prior two races, rallied from third after the second leg to post her first World Cup victory and take the lead in the overall standing for the season.[9] In an injury update, Shiffrin posted on 9 December (over a week after the accident) that she was finally able to walk outside her house, making it appear that her return to competition might not take place in December.[10] Shortly thereafter, Shiffrin had to undergo abdominal surgery to clean out the wound, keeping her completely away from the rest of the North American swing of the World Cup (even as a spectator) and delaying her return to competition still further.[11]

However, Shiffrin was not the only female American multiple-time champion making news. Around the same time, 40-year-old four-time World Cup overall champion Lindsey Vonn of the United States, Shiffrin's former teammate (and the third-winningest skier in World Cup history, with 82 total race victories) who retired during the 2019 season due to injuries and has since had a complete knee replacement, announced the end of her retirement and then qualified for a possible return to the World Cup circuit.[12] And Vonn served as a forerunner for the first-ever women's competitive run on the Birds of Prey course at Beaver Creek, Colorado (USA), the first speed race of the women's season, which was won by defending downhill discipline champion Cornelia Hütter of Austria.[13] After the race, Vonn said she would return to competition the next week in St. Moritz.[13] And the last race of the North America swing, which was also the first super-G of the season, was won by another athlete making an injury comeback: Sofia Goggia of Italy; the win, coupled with a second the day before, moved Goggia into sixth position for the season.[14]

Mid-season

[edit]

Vonn did indeed return when the races moved back to Europe, and she placed 14th in her first race back. The first super-G at St. Moritz was won by Hütter, followed by Gut-Behrami and Goggia, moving Hütter into overall second and both Goggia and Gut-Behrami into the overall top five.[15] The second super-G was canceled due to strong winds and poor visibility.[16]

Finals

[edit]

The finals in all disciplines will be held from 22 to 27 March 2025 in Sun Valley, Idaho, US.[17] Only the top 25 skiers in each World Cup discipline and the winner of the Junior World Championship in the discipline, plus any skiers who have scored at least 500 points in the World Cup overall classification for the season, are eligible to compete in the final, and only the top 15 finishers earn World Cup points.
