"I'm more afraid of losing than stoked to win": Vali Höll on the pressure of being World Champ - Singletracks Mountain Bike News
Every few years, someone takes over World Cup racing with distracting prowess. Nino Shurter, Jolanda Neff, Stevie Smith, and Myriam Nicole are some easy examples. Capping the World Cup DH season with 2220 points, Vali Höll had the season overall win locked in long before that final drop in Lake Placid. Silver medalist Harriet Harndin, who also performed exceptionally in 2026, finished with nearly half the points at 1135. Vali also earned the top spot in the World Championship race this summer, wrapping her in rainbows for yet another season.

Ryder Wilson wins his first World Cup in Lake Placid - Canadian Cycling Magazine
At the final race of 2026, Canadian national champion Ryder Wilson has his first World Cup win. The Vancouver Island rider smoothed out the relentless tech of Lake Placid’s World Cup track to set the fastest junior men’s time on Saturday. It’s a huge result for Team High Country’s resident Canuck. Wilson nearly had his first World Cup podium last week in Whistler. Wilson finished fourth in his home World Cup, even after a crash in the final section of woods just a couple hundred metres from the finish line.

Israeli settlers attack European diplomats during West Bank olive harvest - Al Jazeera
Israeli settlers have attacked European diplomats, including a French mayor, near the Palestinian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank. The delegation was visiting Palestinian olive harvesters on Saturday when the Israeli attackers confronted the group. The attack comes a day after settlers assaulted a US journalist north of Ramallah. In Saturday’s incident, the settlers targeted Belgium’s consul general, French and Polish diplomats and Catholic representatives, Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said. “A French mayor was assaulted and a Belgian vehicle damaged,” Prevot said, linking the attack to what he called Israel’s “illegal settlement policy” and pledging to push for further European Union sanctions. French mayor Bernard Baudoux, who was assaulted, told the AFP news agency that the violence suggests that “there is a tolerance on the part of the Israeli government” towards settler violence. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh, reporting from Ramallah, said the settlers surrounded the diplomats’ vehicles, pelted them with stones and smashed their windows.
