Overview
- Greggio hit 248.270 km/h on the steep Vars speed track in France during a run staged by the International Ski Federation.
- The new figure nudged past her own 2016 benchmark of 247.083 km/h and set a fresh women’s world record after years of trying.
- Wind forced repeated delays, and organizers then opened the full start from the top, a choice that can unlock higher speeds in this straight‑line sprint discipline.
- The result closed a season in which she won a seventh world title on the same piste and secured her eighth World Cup crystal globe.
- She said she now aims to break 250 km/h and noted that France’s Simon Billy did not surpass the men’s 255.500 km/h mark during the same session.
