STAMFORD, Conn., March 19, 2025. NBC Sports will broadcast the 2025 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup Finals at Sun Valley, Idaho, from March 22-30, including Olympic gold medallists Mikaela Shiffrin and Lindsey Vonn on NBC, Peacock, USA Network, and CNBC. Sun Valley has a long history of competitive skiing, although it has not held World Cup events since 1977. This is the first World Cup Finals in the United States since Aspen hosted in 2017.

The men’s and women’s downhill finals will be shown live on NBC and Peacock on Saturday at 1 p.m. ET. Shiffrin is set to participate in the slalom next Thursday, March 27, at 2 p.m. ET on USA Network.

Shiffrin won her 100th Alpine Skiing World Cup slalom in February by 61 hundredths of a second in Sestriere, Italy. Shiffrin became the first alpine skier to win 100 career individual World Cup races after recovering from a serious injury suffered in Killington, Vermont, in November. Shiffrin’s 156th World Cup podium finish on March 9 broke her tie with Ingemar Stenmark for the most podiums in alpine skiing. In March 2023, Shiffrin broke Stenmark’s alpine record of 86 World Cup wins.

Shiffrin is mathematically out of contention for this year’s World Cup season title following her injury and subsequent two months of missed action, but the three-time Olympic medallist is still expected to compete in the slalom, an event she has historically dominated on the world stage, with 63 World Cup victories in the discipline.

The 40-year-old Vonn, who holds the overall record for most downhill victories (43), is now on a comeback season after retiring in 2019. She last won a World Cup season title in downhill in 2016 and placed 15th in the downhill at the 2025 World Alpine Skiing Championships in Saalbach, Austria, her first appearance since 2019. She is slated to race in both the downhill and super-G.

Shiffrin and Vonn will be joined by emerging U.S. stars, including 2025 world super-G bronze medallist Lauren Macuga, 2025 world downhill champion Breezy Johnson, 2023 world team parallel champion Nina O’Brien, two-time Olympian Bryce Bennett, and others. International competitors include Olympic gold medallists Marco Odermatt (Switzerland) and Federica Brignone (Italy), who have won the men’s and women’s Crystal Globes, as well as two-time Olympic medallist Henrik Kristoffersen (Norway) and rising star Zrinka Ljutic (Croatia).

Play-by-play will be handled by Steve Schlanger, Picabo Street, and Steve Porino, a former member of the Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team. Heather Cox will serve as a reporter. Street, an Idaho native, will have a sculpture of herself installed in Sun Valley this weekend to commemorate the Olympic and world champion’s long career.

River Radamus, Mikaela Shiffrin and Lindsey Vonn headed to Sun Valley for World Cup Finals

In a remarkable turn of events, American skiing sensations River Radamus, Mikaela Shiffrin, and Lindsey Vonn are set to compete in the World Cup Finals at Sun Valley from March 22-27, 2025. This marks a significant moment in alpine skiing, especially with Vonn’s unexpected return from retirement, adding a layer of excitement to the prestigious event.

River Radamus: A Rising Star

River Radamus, hailing from Edwards, Colorado, has been making waves in the alpine skiing world. His recent performance at the men’s World Cup giant slalom in Hafjell, Norway, where he secured a seventh-place finish with a two-run time of 2 minutes, 19.70 seconds, showcases his ascending trajectory in the sport. This achievement not only reflects his dedication but also positions him as a formidable contender in the upcoming finals.

Radamus expressed his enthusiasm about competing on home soil, stating, “Skiing at home is always special.” His consistent performances throughout the season have earned him the 11th spot in the GS standings, securing his place among the elite athletes at the World Cup Finals.

Mikaela Shiffrin: Overcoming Challenges

Mikaela Shiffrin’s journey this season has been a testament to resilience. After announcing her withdrawal from the giant slalom at the World Championships in Saalbach due to psychological hurdles stemming from a prior injury, Shiffrin has shown remarkable fortitude. She acknowledged the mental challenges faced during recovery but remained committed to her passion for the sport. Demonstrating her unwavering spirit, Shiffrin is set to compete in the slalom at the World Cup Finals, aiming to reaffirm her status as one of the sport’s leading figures.

Lindsey Vonn: A Legendary Comeback

Perhaps the most captivating storyline is Lindsey Vonn’s return to competitive skiing. At 40, Vonn has defied expectations by making a comeback after her initial retirement in 2019 due to injuries. Following a successful partial knee replacement surgery in April, Vonn’s return has been nothing short of inspirational. Her recent performances, including a 14th place finish in a Super G race in St. Moritz and an impressive fourth place in St. Anton, Austria, highlight her enduring prowess and determination.

Vonn’s decision to come out of retirement has invigorated fans and fellow athletes alike. Her journey underscores the relentless spirit of an athlete unwilling to let age or past injuries define her legacy. As she prepares to compete in the downhill and super-G events at the World Cup Finals, Vonn’s presence adds a layer of prestige and anticipation to the competition.

The Road Ahead: World Cup Finals at Sun Valley

The World Cup Finals at Sun Valley promise to be a spectacle of athleticism and perseverance. The U.S. Ski Team is sending 14 athletes to the event, with only the top-25 athletes in each discipline qualifying.
