Alice Robinson's Historic Super-G Win at St. Moritz

Alice Robinson, from New Zealand, made history by winning her first World Cup Super-G event in St. Moritz. Her victory marks her as a contender for future Super-G medals. The race saw notable performances from competitors like France's Romane Miradoli and Italy's Sofia Goggia, as well as challenges for American Mikaela Shiffrin.

Alice Robinson achieved a historic milestone on Sunday by becoming the first New Zealander to claim victory in a World Cup Super-G event, held in St. Moritz. She completed the course in 1 minute 14.84 seconds, marking her seventh career victory as she excelled on the Swiss resort's Corviglia piste.

Romane Miradoli of France closely followed at second place, just 0.08 seconds behind Robinson, while Italy's Sofia Goggia secured third. American veteran Lindsey Vonn, despite her recent record as the oldest World Cup winner, narrowly missed a third-straight podium finish.

Alice's prior best in Super-G was fourth place in Kvitfjell, Norway. With this win, she's now a serious contender for the upcoming Milano-Cortina Olympics. Her triumph reaffirms her growing stature in competitive skiing. Meanwhile, Mikaela Shiffrin's return to Super-G was marred by a missed gate during a promising run.
