"Valentina Greggio has once again rewritten the record books, setting a new women's speed skiing world record of 248.270 km/h, surpassing her own long-standing mark of 247.083 km/h from 2016."
"Greggio has amassed 55 World Cup victories and six World Championship titles, making her the most decorated athlete in the history of speed skiing."
"Her ability to return years later and improve on an already world-leading performance highlights not only her longevity but also the continued evolution of equipment, preparation, and course conditions in the sport."
"Breaking a world record is rare. Breaking your own - years later - is something else entirely."
Valentina Greggio achieved a new women's speed skiing world record of 248.270 km/h, surpassing her own record of 247.083 km/h set in 2016. At 35, she has 55 World Cup victories and six World Championship titles, making her the most decorated athlete in speed skiing history. While the overall world record remains with Simon Billy at 255.50 km/h, Greggio's achievement brings the women's mark closer to the sport's limits. There are hopes to include speed skiing in the 2030 Olympics, despite past safety concerns.
