Laura Pirovano won the last women's World Cup downhill of the season on Saturday and secured the discipline title, a prize Lindsey Vonn was favorite to win until getting injured at the Olympics and ending her season prematurely. Pirovano’s only remaining challenger for the title, Emma Aicher, finished fifth, as the German skier reduced the gap to leader Mikaela Shiffrin in the overall standings to 95 points with three races remaining. Shiffrin has not raced in downhill since her crash in a World Cup race on the Olympic course in Cortina d’Ampezzo in January 2024, but the American was expected to start in Sunday's super-G.
