Emma Aicher Secures First Alpine Ski World Cup Victory in Kvitfjell

The 21-year-old German skier triumphs in her second downhill race, marking the first German win in the discipline since 2020.

Emma Aicher claimed her first-ever Alpine Ski World Cup victory in the downhill race at Kvitfjell, Norway, edging out Lauren Macuga by just three hundredths of a second.
This achievement follows Aicher's career-first podium finish the day before, where she placed second in another downhill event at the same venue.
Her win is the first downhill World Cup victory for Germany since February 2020, previously achieved by Thomas Dreßen and Viktoria Rebensburg.
Aicher, a versatile skier excelling in both speed and technical disciplines, has been recognized as the most promising talent in the German Ski Association.
The young skier has an impressive track record, including World Championship bronze in 2021, Olympic silver in 2022, and strong performances at the 2025 World Championships in Saalbach-Hinterglemm.
