On Tuesday’s team combined event in Saalbach, Austria, Breezy Johnson and Mikaela Shiffrin delivered the gold in the event's debut. This is Shiffrin's historic 15th World Championships medal and eighth gold medal - tying the record for most medals by a female skier. Johnson adds one more to her collection after winning gold in the downhill days earlier. 

“I did my best again today and that’s all I can ask myself,” said Johnson.

“I am inspired by this event which is something I was not anticipating," said Shiffrin. "The vibe around it is so special." 

The first ever team combined event brought camaraderie and team spirit to the sport of alpine ski racing. Each nation was allowed to have up to four teams entered. The Stifel U.S. Ski Team’s team combined pairs were split into four teams, comprised of Breezy Johnson and Mikaela Shiffrin, Lauren Macuga and Paula Moltzan, Lindsey Vonn and AJ Hurt, and Jackie Wiles with Katie Hensien. 

The day began with the women’s downhill. The track was the same as the downhill from earlier in the week, so the women knew what to do. The speed women sent it, knowing that earning another medal would be possible. Johnson went first for the U.S. women and landed in third for the run, while Macuga blazed down in first to lead by 0.23 hundredths ahead of the pack. Wiles sat her team in 15th and Vonn in 21st.

"Last run on this hill, and I knew I had to make it count," said Macuga. "In the start I was thinking about Paula and how I needed to put my best skiing out there." 

The downhill course was quickly torn down and turned into a slalom venue. The slalom women inspected and got ready to roll, while the downhill teammates streamed into the finish, dressed in Stifel U.S. Ski Team paraphernalia and glitter that said ‘USA’ in red and blue - a fun nod to their Stifel U.S. Cross Country Ski Team teammates.

Each one of the slalom ladies skied with grit. First AJ Hurt popped it into the leaderboard chair - sharing her seat with her teammate Vonn.

“I am very satisfied!" said Hurt. "I have not finished a lot of slaloms this year so I am just happy to make it down well. This event is so cool and it's so fun to have a teammate and work together."

“AJ skied amazing and overall we had a great time," said Vonn. "We are on the same team but never get to ski as a team so that was different and fun.

Hensien skied a quick slalom tempo to also land in the leaderboard chair with her partner Jackie Wiles. Hensien’s spirit was felt miles away as she pumped the air with her fist when she skied into the green light. 

“I knew I had to put down a really good run. It's very rare we get to ski as a team and I had to do it for Jackie,” said Hensien.

“It is stressful!" added Wiles. "But Katie is such a good skier so it is fun to cheer on your teammate in something bigger than you.” 

Then it was time for Shiffrin. Shiffrin, in her second race back after being sidelined with an injury, knifing her run to find the top time. Johnson sprinted out into the finish to give her a hug, and then the waiting game began. 

Finally it all came down to Macuga and Moltzan. The team was silent, clutching their American flags and sending Moltzan all the positive energy. Moltzan skied well but held back a smidge and ended up just shy of a medal in fourth place. Despite the tough break of missing a medal, the whole team was still grateful for one another’s support and celebrated their teammates' gold medal in the new event.

Shiffrin and Johnson climbed atop the podium together, holding hands and singing the national anthem.

“It has not sunken in yet - I went out and wanted to ski my best," said Johnson. "I just wanted to do something to help Mikaela who has done so much for my career as well."

Shiffrin lauded her teammate, as well. “This last year and a half (Breezy) has had to take on a lot on her own, so to be at this level now and do it again today is so incredible,” said Shiffrin. 

Shiffrin notably won her 15th World Championships medal and eighth gold medal, making history once again by equaling Germany’s Christl Cranz's 15 total World Championship medals – the most by any female skier. Plus Breezy Johnson continued her incredible World Championships run with a second gold medal to her name. 

The women’s team is fired up, confident and emotional over a whirlwind of a week that has produced a medal in each event that has occurred so far: a bronze in super-G, gold in downhill and gold in the team combined. The next events for the women’s team will be the giant slalom and slalom, while the men race their team combined on Wednesday.

Saalbach, Austria (Feb. 10, 2025) - The Stifel U.S. Ski Team has announced the 12 skiers who will compete in the brand new team combined event debuting at the FIS Alpine Ski World Championships Feb. 11-12. 

The Stifel U.S. Ski Team has a data-driven selection criteria for the team combined, which includes matching the top downhill skier with the top slalom skier based off of season-best results, then moving down the list of athletes to create four potential teams.

Highlighting the team will be the newly crowned 2025 downhill world champion Breezy Johnson who will be paired with the most successful alpine skier in the modern era of World Championships, Mikaela Shiffrin. Shiffrin, who has 14 World Championships medals to her name, is returning from a brutal injury that left her sidelined from competition the past two months. Both Shiffrin and Johnson will look to add to their medal count this week. 

Headlining the men’s side will be super-G Olympic silver medalist Ryan Cochran-Siegle and slalom specialist Ben Ritchie. Cochran-Siegle is a consistent force in the downhill discipline and Ritchie has shown consistency and speed in slalom this season. 

“I think it will be really cool to have this experience with another teammate,” said Cochran-Siegle. “Skiing is a very individual sport but we also spend so much time as a team working together, so being at the bottom and cheering on your teammate will be really unique.”

The event consists of two runs: a downhill and a slalom run. The fastest combined time from both the downhill and slalom wins the event. The rules outline that a maximum of four teams with two competitors can compete. The teams are formed by athletes of the same nation and same gender. No changes to the pairs can be made after the draw of the race is complete. The combined time results will dictate the winners of the event - the prize money will also be divided equally among the pair. 

“We are very excited about this new combined event,” said Chief of Sport Anouk Patty. “These pairs are an extremely talented group of skiers and together they will be unstoppable.”

On Sunday’s World Championships men's downhill Stifel U.S. Ski Team athletes Bryce Bennett and Ryan Cochran-Siegle landed 10th and 13th to cap off the busy week of speed in Saalbach. 

It was an emotional roller coaster of a week for the U.S. team coming off the incredible performance by teammate Breezy Johnson the day prior, along with Cochran-Siegle’s stellar training runs. The pressure was on from the start with many eyes looking to the U.S. speed team. However, Cochran-Siegle could not find the same execution as he had done earlier in the week. He had to settle for a top-15 finish. 

“It was a mental battle today,” said Cochran-Siegle. “I feel like the opportunity was definitely there, and I knew that I really just tried to focus on skiing. It's obviously a high-pressure environment, and I tried to embrace it as best as possible but fell short.” 

Bennett was able to find speed in his run to at first ski into third. Bennett ultimately fell back to 10th but was overall pleased with his efforts - looking forward to the next few weeks of racing. 

“My mindset currently is shifting to winning and trying to win every single weekend,” said Bennett. “I haven't quite figured out exactly how to do that, and that's just gonna be a little bit of a process.” 

It was a big day for the Swiss as youngster Franjo Von Allmen in the golden position with Austrian veteran Vincent Kreichmayr with silver and Swiss Alexis Monney with the bronze. Stifel U.S. Ski Team athletes Jared Goldberg and Sam Morse also raced landing in 24th and 36th. 

The next event for the men will be the brand new event - Team Combined - on Wednesday.

On Saturday’s World Championships downhill in Saalbach, Austria, Stifel U.S. Ski Team athlete Breezy Johnson knifed her run to claim gold and become the 2025 downhill world champion. 

“It has not sunk in yet,” said Johnson. “I've just been trying to ski my best all weekend. I really tried to throw down today.”

It was another day of sun in Saalbach and once again the track proved invincible, even after three downhill training runs. Johnson had already set a solid pace in the training runs earlier in the week and knew what she needed to do to execute the plan and ski her best. To add to the narrative, Johnson ran wearing bib one, truly setting the pace for the rest of the skiers. She pushed hard from the start to come down with a final time that was a full second faster than her training runs. It was clear that this would be a tough one to beat. 

“I came to Cortina for my second World Championships. I hip checked and I won three splits, but that was not gonna work with a hip check so I didn't walk away with a medal,” said Johnson. “Then I came into Meribel with the green light and I fell, so it's been a long time coming. But if you keep trying then maybe one day you'll get it.” 

Skier after skier came down the course and could not hold a candle to Johnson. It was not until fellow teammate and super-G bronze medalist Lauren Macuga came blazing down with fast splits up top that had the crowd on the edge of their seats. Macuga landed in fifth.

“I put forward my best skiing, and I couldn't be more excited,” said Macuga. “It's so cool to see our team thriving like this. We've been building it up and now we get to represent such a strong team.”

Finally the speed queen herself Lindsey Vonn landed in 15th place. After a fall a few days ago, Vonn skied impressively at the top for a good result. 

“For me it was important to be at the start and be clear minded and be able to execute under pressure. It is good preparation for next year for the Olympics,” said Vonn. “I'm so happy for Breezy and also Lauren in the super-G… Our team is really, really strong so it's going to be a fun season to prepare for with all these girls that are so fast.” 

Jackie Wiles also raced, but did not finish. She is OK. 

Ultimately it was a day to celebrate the newfound world champion Breezy Johnson. An emotional Johnson was overwhelmed with the celebrations and hugs that she broke down crying in the leaderboard chair in disbelief. The sweetest moment was when she called her parents on the phone and was overcome with excitement. 

Johnson has always been a force in women’s speed but never stood on top of a World Cup podium or World Championships podium until now. She is a two-time Olympian with seven World Cup podiums to her name and now a World Championships victory to her list of accolades. 

The women’s speed team has had a Cinderella story the past few days with a bronze medal by Macuga in the super-G and now a gold by Johnson. More women’s speed will still come with the team combined early next week. 

The men will now take on the track on Super Bowl Sunday with men’s downhill.

On Friday’s World Championships super-G in Saalbach, Austria, Stifel U.S. Ski Team veteran speed skiers Ryan Cochran-Siegle and Bryce Bennett were the top U.S. finishers in seventh and 15th place. 

“It was a really fun set,” said Cochran-Siegle. “The snow is very nice and you can do whatever you want, so feeling that environment and the pressure to build on that energy was really fun.”

It was another beautiful winter day in Saalbach with cloudy skies and sun popping in and out. The first American to go was Jared Goldberg with bib two. Goldberg found it difficult to see where he was going in some blind spots and made a few errors - which ultimately led to a 25th place finish.

Next up was Ryan Cochran-Siegle with bib 18. Cochran-Siegle was poised to be the top American after two very fast downhill training runs. He went out of the gate firing, doing his best to generate speed. Cochran-Siegle was on par with the top skiers but a tiny mistake at the end may have cost him the podium. He landed seventh just 0.15 out from a bronze medal. 

“I am happy with the skiing I was able to do knowing that my best skiing is enough. I'm just trying to really just enjoy that,” said Cochran-Siegle.

Teammate Bryce Bennett also put on a strong super-G performance for a skier more known for his downhill abilities. He had some confident turns to land in 15th place. 

“To stand in the start gate knowing that if you've executed everything 100%, you could actually be on the podium was a good feeling,” said Bennett. “I haven't really had that feeling in super-G before.” 

However it was a golden day for Swiss skier Marco Odermatt who outpaced the field by a second. The results list following Odermatt were stacked with a half-second between the top 10 skier. The silver medal was awarded to Austrian Raphael Haaser with Norwegian Adrian Sejersted in bronze. 

Stifel U.S. Ski Team athlete River Radamus also raced and landed in 19th place. The World Championships event continues with the women’s downhill Saturday and men’s downhill on Super Bowl Sunday.

In Thursday’s first World Championships speed race in Saalbach, Austria, 22-year-old Stifel U.S. Ski Team athlete Lauren Macuga won the bronze medal in the super-G. It was her first World Championships start and makes her the youngest skier to win a World Champs medal in a speed event in 12 years.

“It was all about that mentality and you can hear me talk to myself, like ‘come on, give it everything you got,’” said Macuga. “Coming down that course I knew there would be some big jumps and crucial parts, so I was just trusting the line and going for it.” 

It was a beautiful sunny day with a perfect race surface. The women had already skied the slope twice with two downhill training runs earlier in the week, and with their head coach setting the super-G, they were prepared for a big day. 

Macuga was the first U.S. skier for the team wearing bib 14 and she sent it from the top. She lost a little bit of time in the middle, but skied to the line to tie Norwegian Kajsa Lie for third. 

“Coming into this year, I was just hoping to make the team,” Macuga said. “It’s just cool to see that I’m figuring out how to do it more and more consistently.”

Macuga comes from an impressive family, with three daughters all on the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Team. While her father and sister Alli are in Park City while Alli competes in moguls at the Intermountain Health Freestyle International presented by Stifel at Deer Valley and her sister Sam competes at the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup in Lake Placid, mother Amy was in the finish in Saalbach. Lauren and her mother had an emotional moment in the finish after her run. 

“Oh my gosh to have my mom in the finish here - it's so fun and such a cool experience,” said Macuga. 

Macuga has become a consistent contender in the speed disciplines this season. She won her first World Cup in the St. Anton super-G in early January, which was also her first World Cup podium. In Beaver Creek at the Stifel Birds of Prey, she also claimed a personal best downhill result in fourth. Now she has earned her first World Championships medal in her first appearance at the biannual event. 

Austrian fans had an exciting day with Stephanie Venier claiming the top spot with a gold. Italy’s Federica Brignone claimed the silver medal position. Stifel U.S. Ski Team athletes Breezy Johnson and Keely Cashman also raced hard in the super-G. Johnson landed in 19th with Cashman in 24th. Teammate Lindsey Vonn had a few strong splits on her run until she hooked a gate with her arm and was thrown out. She did not finish but is OK. 

Next on the docket for the World Championships event is the men’s super-G on Friday.

SAALBACH, Austria (Feb. 4, 2025) – For the second time, U.S. Ski & Snowboard, in partnership with Protect Our Winters (POW) and Kappa, is releasing a race suit designed to bring attention to climate change. The Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team will wear the suit during the 2025 FIS Alpine Ski World Championships in Saalbach, Austria Feb. 4-16, 2025 and the Stifel U.S. Cross Country Ski Team will wear a similar race suit at the 2025 FIS Nordic Ski World Championships in Trondheim, Norway Feb. 26 - March 9, 2025.

In 2023, U.S. Ski & Snowboard partnered with POW, a leading nonprofit organization that rallies the outdoor community in support of systemic solutions to climate change, and Kappa, the team’s technical apparel partner and supplier of the team uniform, to bring to life a unique vision of climate change on the alpine athletes’ speed suits. Laddering up to U.S. Ski & Snowboard’s climate change initiative Easy Green, the 2025 suit is a new version of the 2023 World Championships suit, showcasing melting glaciers. 

In addition to the team partner logos traditionally on athlete race suits, the World Championship suit also showcases the POW logo, a key partner of U.S. Ski & Snowboard in the fight against a warming climate, and the Easy Green logo. 

"Climate change directly impacts our athletes and the mountains we cherish. By incorporating a climate change theme into our race suits for the World Championships again, we hope to continue driving awareness and action,” said Sophie Goldschmidt, President and CEO of U.S. Ski & Snowboard. “These suits are a powerful reminder that we must protect the future of winter sports and our planet."

The race suit is designed with Kappa and produced in Italy with 100% Italian fabrics in a factory certified in terms of environmental sustainability. 

“POW fights for clean air, clean water and a healthy environment for all; we’re proud to stand alongside the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Team as it puts this mission on the global stage,” said POW CEO Erin Sprague. “The suits will spark global awareness and conversations about climate change and further the climate movement in outdoor communities, moving us closer to common-ground, common-sense solutions needed to tackle the climate crisis. We’re all in this together, and we are excited to see the Stifel U.S. Ski Team racing in these suits.”

“Having a World Championship racing suit that reflects the current climate crisis that we are in is such an important part of advocacy that we can bring to sport as humans, not just as athletes,” said Olympic champion and Stifel U.S. Ski Team cross country skier Jessie Diggins. “As an active board member for Protect Our Winters and member of their athlete alliance, using my voice and the power of sport to call attention to our shared need for clean air, clean water and a healthy planet is the most meaningful thing that I could possibly do. It’s so much more than a ski race. My hope is that seeing us race in these suits that visually show the impact of our changing climate will be a reminder of what’s at stake. It can help people remember the small, everyday actions that they can take, as well as the larger policy actions that countries can take in order to swing the needle and protect not only snow sports, but outdoor recreation for everyone in our future.”

On Tuesday night’s first event of the FIS Ski Alpine World Championships the Stifel U.S. Ski Team fell short of a medal in fourth place. 

“I went out there and did the fastest skiing I could,” said Moltzan. “I just want to show the rest of the world that we are some of the fastest skiers in the world - maybe not tonight but I still believe in all of us and there are a lot more medal opportunities.” 

It was a tough battle in Saalbach for the Team Event as the reigning World Champions (the U.S.) fired out of the start to try and claim a medal. 

“It is really special to be skiing alongside these guys. It truly feels like a team event,” said Nelson. “We rely on each other and it is really cool.” 

The race consists of four heats all to make either the big final or the small final to get a coveted medal. First the Stifel U.S. Ski Team squad was able to knock out Poland. However the next heat would be a test. The U.S. against Norway. The same two teams from the big final in 2023. 

The women’s team came out firing. Paula Moltzan and Nina O’Brien consistently scored the fastest times for the women’s field. On the men’s side it was going to be a fierce battle with Norwegian World Cup winners Timon Haugan and Atle Lie McGrath. Isaiah Nelson fell short to Haugan but River Radamus skied his best run to beat McGrath. 

The next round was against Switzerland. It was once again a battle at the end. Moltzan and O’Brien delivered the green. Nelson with a mistake fell short and Radamus was just off the mark. The U.S. would move on to the small final against Sweden. 

In the small final it was down to the last racer, Nelson. Nelson was pushing extremely hard on track to potentially claim the bronze. At the bottom of the course he pushed just a smidge too hard and straddled. The U.S. would have to ski away with fourth. A very solid effort under the lights for the opening race. Italy would claim gold with Switzerland in silver. 

“I love this event, I love racing with this team,” said Radamus. “Isaiah was our newest member and he brought a lot of heart to this in his first World Championships event ever so very cool for him.” 

The next World Championships event will be a woman’s super-G on Thursday Feb. 5.

Park City, Utah (Jan. 31, 2025) —U.S. Ski & Snowboard is proud to announce the 21 athletes that will represent the Stifel U.S. Ski Team at the 2025 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in Saalbach, Austria, February 4-16, 2025.

The team is headlined by the greatest skier of all time, Mikaela Shiffrin—who has 99 World Cup victories and seven World Championships gold medals. With 14 medals in 17 World Championships starts, Shiffrin is the most successful alpine skier in the modern era. The team will also feature Olympic champion eight-time World Championships medalist Lindsey Vonn, who makes her return to the World Championships after coming out of retirement; her last World Champs appearance was in 2019. 

This year’s World Championships team features both up-and-coming World Cup athletes and veterans who have already captured multiple World Cup podium finishes this year. The rising stars include Lauren Macuga who claimed her first World Cup win in the St. Anton super-G this season, as well as Katie Hensien who just missed the podium in Sölden in fourth place. On the veteran side, returning team event world champion Paula Moltzan will be a force in women’s tech with her recent giant slalom podium in Kronplatz.

Jared Goldberg and Olympic silver medalist Ryan Cochran-Siegle headline the men’s team with their podium performances this season in Val Gardena, Italy. World champion River Radamus will be the man to watch in the giant slalom, while Ben Ritchie will highlight men’s slalom, having consistently scored World Cup points this season. 

“This has been an excellent season for both of our teams with multiple podiums across all disciplines,” said U.S. Ski & Snowboard Chief of Sport Anouk Patty. “We have a strong group of veteran and up-and-coming athletes that we know will work together and push one another to the top of the podium.” 

“We are proud to announce our team for the World Championships. These athletes represent the dedication, resilience and passion that defines our organization,” said U.S. Ski & Snowboard CEO Sophie Goldschmidt. “They’ve trained for this moment and are ready to compete at the highest level.”

This year’s World Championships event will be in Saalbach at one primary venue. It will also feature a new event—the team combined. This will consist of two athletes racing one run of downhill and one run of slalom. The combined time will determine the winner. 

Fans can watch all of the action in Austria live on Infront’s skiandsnowboard.live, with select events tape delayed on NBC. Skiandsnowboard.live will have all events on demand; Peacock will not have races on demand.

After 60 long days away from snow following a severe abdominal injury sustained at the Stifel Killington Cup in November, Mikaela Shiffrin made her return to World Cup ski racing at the Courchevel night slalom in France, snagging a 10th place in her first race back. With just days to go before the 2025 FIS Alpine Ski World Championships, Shiffrin stepped back into competition mode—not to chase any one goal, but instead to once again feel comfortable pushing out of the start gate. 

"It’s very much a step-by-step process, and this return to competition is part of the recovery," said Shiffrin. “It actually doesn’t even mean I’m recovered or I’m back to 100%. It means that we’ve gotten far enough in the recovery now that I’m strong enough physically, and I’ve had enough turns of slalom, to feel comfortable to push out of the start gate.”

Courchevel holds a special place in Shiffrin's career and heart. It's where she's won seven of her 99 World Cup victories across four different disciplines. In 2023, Shiffrin won three World Championships and watched her team bring home the first-ever World Championships gold medal in the parallel team event. And, it's where Shiffrin had her first victory after her father's passing in 2020.

Tonight, as the lights lit up the storied slalom hill, Shiffrin’s goal was simple: race, get the feeling back and have fun. And tonight, she did just that, signaling she’s back and ready to build toward the World Championships.

Shiffrin wasn’t the only American on the start list. Four other Stifel U.S. Ski Team tech athletes joined her at the gates, including Paula Moltzan, who was back on the World Cup podium just weeks ago, and AJ Hurt, Nina O'Brien and Katie Hensien, who are all having strong World Cup seasons. With the conditions deteriorating and becoming choppier by the second, many athletes on the start list did not finish their runs, either by straddling, skiing out or getting caught in the ruts of the soft snow. Hensien, Hurt, O'Brien and Moltzan did not advance to the second run but are already focused on training and preparing for the upcoming races.

After the first run, with the top 30 advancing to the second, Shiffrin was the sole athlete representing the U.S., comfortably making the flip in fifth place. The second run began at 8:00 p.m. CET—it was a late night, but the fans were out in force, the atmosphere was electric and the night slalom under the bright lights brought palpable energy. Shiffrin ran later in the pack. With everyone holding their breaths as she descended the course, there was one thing on the minds of many—would this be the race that would give her her 100th World Cup victory? Shiffrin skied a smart and tactful race, knifing down the course and ultimately crossed the line in the top 10. Her immediate reaction? She smiled, waved and made a heart with her hands to the crowd and her team in the finish area.

“It was so important to get this start before World Champs and I think it was a very important step in my recovery to see how I’m stacking up with the best skiers in the world," she said. "Today... it's just... it's just nice to be racing." 

The Courchevel night slalom podium included Croatia's Zrinka Ljutic in first, Sara Hector of Sweden in second and Germany's Lena Duerr in third. 

Now, the athletes will rest and prepare for the upcoming races, which include the World Championship in Saalbach, Austria. World Championships are not World Cup races, so Shiffrin's run to her 100th win is on hold.
