The season will be interrupted for the Alpine Skiing World Championships, this time in Saalbach, Austria during 4-16 February 2025.[2] The championship in women's giant slalom is scheduled for Thursday, 13 February.
Season summary
editThe first giant slalom of the season, scheduled as usual on the Rettenbach glacier in Sölden, Austria in October, was won by 2024 discipline runner-up (and 2020 discipline champion) Federica Brignone, 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.[3] With the victory, Brignone, who is 34, became the oldest woman ever to win a World Cup race, surpassing Elizabeth Görgl of Austria, who won her last race on the World Cup circuit in December 2014 at 33, two months before turning 34.[3] Because this was the first race of the season, neither defending champion Lara Gut-Behrami of Switzerland nor perennial contender Petra Vlhová of Slovakia had recovered from prior-season surgeries sufficiently to be able to compete, although Gut-Behrami entered the race but did not start.
Finals
editThe World Cup finals in the discipline are scheduled to take place on Tuesday, 25 March 2025 in Sun Valley, Idaho, USA.[4] Only the top 25 skiers in the World Cup giant slalom 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 earn World Cup points.
