Britt Richardson achieved a career-best 10th place at the Alpine World Ski Championships, showcasing resilience and skill.

Canadian skier Britt Richardson delivered an impressive performance at the 2025 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in Saalbach, Austria, finishing in 10th place in the women`s giant slalom. The reigning Junior World Champion started her day in 18th position after the first run but showcased her resilience with the fourth fastest second run, moving up eight spots. Richardson expressed pride in her mental and physical performance, especially considering her recent struggles with back pain and limited training.

Valérie Grenier also represented Canada well, securing a 14th place finish with the seventh fastest second run. However, Cassidy Gray faced disappointment, falling during her first run and failing to complete the course.

Italy`s Federica Brignone claimed the gold medal, solidifying her status as the 2025 Giant Slalom World Champion. Brignone maintained her lead from the first run, skiing with remarkable precision and power. New Zealand`s Alice Robinson made history by winning silver, marking the country`s first-ever World Championship medal in Alpine skiing. The bronze medal went to Paula Moltzan of the U.S., who celebrated her first individual World Championship medal.

The event was marked by high intensity and drama, with several skiers making significant moves during the second run, all in front of an enthusiastic Austrian crowd, despite no local competitors being in medal contention.
