Sofia Goggia arrives third in the first descent of Cortina and achieves the 53rd podium in her career. 1'33"77 ex aequo not only with Austrian Christina Ager, but also with Canadian Valerie Grenier, with this time the Italian skier crossed the finish line after the many falls of the others in the race. U.S. champion Mikaela Shiffrin scared everyone with her slip, for which the helicopter rescue was necessary. The Tyrolean Stephanie Venier, 30 years old and at her second success, won in 1'33"06. Second was Swiss Lara Gut-Behrami in 1'33"45.

Laura Pirovano came sixth, while Marta Bassino had a good run after losing the podium by taking the wrong line in the lower part of the track. The falls were many and very similar in this first descent on the spectacular Olympia delle Tofane: among them also that of the Italian Federica Brignone.
