Goggia doubles up with home downhill win

The Italian won last weekend's downhill in Bad Kleinkirchheim, Austria, as part of an Italian one-two-three, and although her compatriots could not join her on the podium this time – she got the result that mattered.

Stopping the clock in a time of 1:36.45, Goggia became the sixth Italian woman to win a World Cup downhill race on home snow.

Coming home less than half a second in arrears was America's Lindsey Vonn, while overall World Cup leader Mikaela Shiffrin took the final step on the podium at 0.84s behind Goggia.

Switzerland's Lara Gut finished fourth with Austria's Nicole Schmidhofer in fifth as Goggia leapfrogged Tina Weirather atop the downhill standings.

The Italian now has 269 points from four races, with Shiffrin's third place moving her up to second on the leaderboard just 49 points back.

Austria's Cornelia Huetter sits in third on 183, while Weirather has dropped to fourth a further point behind.

And Goggia has also moved up to second in the overall World Cup standings on 570 points, still 871 behind Shiffrin, though.
