Federica Brignone edged out teammate Sofia Goggia by the smallest possible margin for an Italian 1-2 finish in a women's World Cup downhill on Saturday in Germany, while Lindsey Vonn missed a gate near the bottom of the course and failed to finish.

Italian Federica Brignone won the women's downhill at Garmisch-Partenkirchen on Saturday, defeating her compatriot Sofia Goggia by one hundredth of a second to extend her overall World Cup lead as Lindsey Vonn again failed to finish.

Brignone and Goggia, who already won a downhill gold at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games, are putting themselves in position to succeed Swiss rivals Gut-Behrami and Suter at the 2026 Games, when women’s skiing will be held in Cortina and men’s races in Bormio.
