Defending Olympic champion Daniela Ceccarelli was 37th in the current season's World Cup downhill standings, headed by Michaela Dorfmeister from Austria, followed by teammate Alexandra Meissnitzer. Anja Pärson of Sweden was defending world champion and was fourth in the current season's super-G standings.[1][2][3]
