US EditionAlice Robinson’s World Cup hopes end after crashing out of finals
- On March 25, 2025, Alice Robinson's pursuit of the alpine World Cup giant slalom crown was derailed when she crashed out of the first run at the FIS World Cup Finals in Sun Valley Resort.
- Robinson, representing Team New Zealand, entered the final race with a 20-point lead over Italian skier Federica Brignone, holding the potential to become the first New Zealander to win a World Cup crystal globe.
- During the first leg, Robinson initially recovered from a wobble but ultimately lost her balance on a deep turn near the bottom of the course and was unable to continue, while Brignone, needing to finish 13th or better, skied second-fastest, 0.45 seconds behind Lara Gut-Behrami of Switzerland.
- Brignone, already holding the World Cup overall and downhill titles secured on Saturday, now has a strong opportunity to add the giant slalom season title to her achievements.
- Of the 28 skiers who started the first leg on the new Challenger course, six failed to finish, including Robinson, leaving her to watch from the sidelines as 34-year-old Brignone aims to secure the giant slalom crown, with Sara Hector, Sweden's Olympic champion, in third place after the first leg, 0.68 seconds back.
