Marta Bassino (born 27 February 1996) is an Italian World Cup alpine ski racer. She competes in all disciplines, with a focus in giant slalom, in which she has won five World Cup races.[1]

Biography[]

Born in Cuneo, Piedmont, she lives in Borgo San Dalmazzo.[2] Bassino made her World Cup debut in March 2014 at age 18, and her first full season on the World Cup circuit was in 2015.[1]

Career[]

On 22 October 2016 she scored her first World Cup podium in Sölden, finishing 3rd in the giant slalom won by Switzerland's Lara Gut; later in the season she repeated the same result in the giant slaloms in Kronplatz and Aspen - the letter together with teammates Federica Brignone and Sofia Goggia. Bassino was also part of the podium in Bansko in 2020, when Italian athletes took the top three places in the women's downhill.[1][3]

Her first win was in a giant slalom at Killington in November 2019. In that year Bassino became the first Italian skier able to get on the podium in five different disciplines in the same season.[1][4]

At her first World Championships in 2015, Bassino took part in the giant slalom, qualifying for the second run in 8th place, but did not finish. At the 2017 FIS Alpine Skiing World Championships in St. Moritz she finished 11th in the giant slalom and 17th in the combined. The following year at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang her first olympic participation, she finished 5th in the giant slalom, 10th in the combined and did not finish the slalom. At the 2019 FIS Alpine Skiing World Championships in Åre she won the bronze medal in the team race (participating as a reserve) and was 13th in the giant slalom and 13th in the combined.[1][5]

In the 2020–2021 season Bassino won four of the first five giant slalom races contested, also finishing on the podium in the sixth one – a third place in the home event in Kronplatz, Italy. She clinched the women’s World Cup crystal globe in the discipline on 7 March 2021.[6] At the 2021 World Championships in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, Bassino won the gold medal in the parallel giant slalom event, alongside Austria's Katharina Liensberger.[7] She was a strong favourite for the giant slalom race, however, she finished in 13th place.[8]
