Data captured 4 Nov 2026Sources and method

  • This page counts World Cup podiums only. Results outside the top three are not in the capture, so starts, points and finishing positions below 3rd are not shown.
  • Athletes are joined on the FIS competitor id, so a renamed athlete (Vonn/Kildow, Gut/Gut-Behrami, Braathen/Pinheiro Braathen) stays one person. Each race shows the name FIS published at the time.
  • FIS publishes only the top 50 by starts, so a start count is shown only for those athletes.
