FIS European Cup St. Anton am Arlberg
19 and 20 January 2026
We’ve just had two fantastic days of racing at the FIS Women’s European Cup in St. Anton am Arlberg.
Bright sunshine and a perfect race course at Rendl set the stage for some strong performances from the young female athletes. In both Super-G races, Italy’s Sara Allemand secured victory ahead of Norway’s Marte Monsen. Tyrolean Lena Wechner was the top Austrian in the first Super-G, finishing third. In the second Super-G, Vanessa Nussbaumer from Vorarlberg secured a place on the podium with third place.
With the European Cup races, St. Anton am Arlberg has once again sent a strong signal for the future of ski racing.
Many thanks to all the athletes, teams, staff and spectators who took part!
The birth of alpine ski racing
Arlberg Kandahar Race
In the history of alpine ski racing, the Arlberg Kandahar race in St. Anton am Arlberg, founded in 1928, is perhaps the most important milestone. Today, however, many people no longer know what the name of a town in Afghanistan has to do with the prestigious ski race.
