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.
