Valérie Grenier from St. Isidore, Ontario, emerged as the top Canadian performer in the recent World Cup super-G event held in Cortina d`Ampezzo, Italy. On January 19, 2025, Federica Brignone of Italy showcased her dominance by finishing 0.58 seconds ahead of Lara Gut-Behrami and 1.08 seconds ahead of Corinne Suter. Grenier`s 15th place finish marked a significant achievement for Canadian skiing on the world stage.

In the men`s slalom event in Wengen, Switzerland, Atle Lie McGrath of Norway led a Norwegian podium sweep. McGrath secured victory by maintaining his first-run lead, finishing just 0.18 seconds ahead of Timon Haugan and 0.29 seconds ahead of Henrik Kristoffersen. This win was particularly meaningful for McGrath, who had not tasted victory in three years and faced challenges in his previous slalom races. The absence of Canadian skiers in the top ranks highlighted the impressive performance of the Norwegian team, with Switzerland`s Tanguy Nef, Loic Meillard, and Daniel Yule finishing fourth, fifth, and sixth, respectively.

Brignone`s super-G victory not only solidified her position but also increased her lead in the women`s World Cup overall standings. Meanwhile, Henrik Kristoffersen extended his lead in the men`s slalom season-long standings. Valérie Grenier`s consistent performances, including her recent 15th place finish, have contributed positively to her standing in the World Cup rankings, although specific details on her current ranking were not disclosed.
