At the end of the fourth time trial on Monday morning on the Olympia delle Tofane, which saw only eleven athletes at the start, the Italian technical staff announced the composition of the four pairs that will give life on Tuesday, February 10, to the combined team event, introduced for the first time by FIS in the Olympic program. They are Sofia Goggia/Lara Della Mea, Laura Pirovano/Martina Peterlini, Nicol Delago/Anna Trocker and Nadia Delago/Giada D’Antonio. As expected, Federica Brignone will not take part in the race.

Andrea GussoniLindsey Vonn, tremendous fall and end of Olympic dream in Cortina: photos

Lindsey Vonn falls after very few seconds in the downhill on the'Olympia of the Tofane at Milan-Cortina 2026.
Thus ends the attempt to rewrite history by the champion. Astonished audience.
The race is immediately stopped after the fall of the American champion.
She closes in tears the dream of winning an Olympic medal at 41 years old.

Vonn aimed to overtake compatriot Breezy Johnson, in the lead up to that point.
Started with bib 13, she chooses a very high line at the'entrance of the first crossbar.
He hits a goal with his right shoulder, loses his balance and falls ruinously.

The'impact takes place on the'Olympia of the Tofane, a track where he had already triumphed twelve times in his career.
The screams of pain of the champion break the silence of Cortina.

In previous days she had revealed the complete rupture of the cruciate ligament in Crans Montana.
The'injury had occurred in the'last World Cup race before the Olympics.
The first responders arrive immediately on the track after the fall.
Vonn is immobilized and loaded onto the toboggan by rescuers.
The'helicopter transports away the American champion from the Tofane.

The format formula calls for the final standings to be drawn up based on the sum of the times of the competitor engaged in downhill (starting at 10:30 a.m.) and the one lined up in slalom (set for 2 p.m.) for each pair.

In the men’s field, Italy meanwhile remained off the men’s alpine skiing combined team podium at the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. After Giovanni Franzoni’s excellent first place in the downhill, Alex Vinatzer failed to confirm the result: the Italian’s slalom was one to forget and the pair finished seventh with a delay of 1″22: no real mistakes but a run of 18th heat time that speaks for itself. It goes slightly better for Tommaso Sala, who defends the fifth place he got in the downhill from Dominik Paris and finishes 1″12 from the top.

Gold goes to Switzerland: Von Allmen, already winner of the downhill, completes the work thanks to the extraordinary slalom of Nef, author of the best time in the heat. Silver ex aequo for Austria with Kriechmayr/Feller and for Switzerland with the Odermatt/Meillard pair.
