Biography
On 9 January 2021 at age 23, Pirovano achieved her first top-five result in a World Cup event, finishing fifth in a downhill at St Anton, Austria.[2] She won her first World Cup race (which was also her first podium finish) in her tenth season at Val di Fassa, Italy on 6 March 2026.[3] Another downhill win came the next day as she won a second consecutive race by just 0.01 seconds.[4] Thanks to her third consecutive downhill win in Kvitfjell, Pirovano won the small crystal globe in downhill for the 2025-2026 season.
