● Tim Mastnak (SLO) won the first ever men’s Parallel Giant Slalom in Scuol back in 2018, ahead of Oskar Kwiatkowski (POL) and Nevin Galmarini (SUI). This race marked the first World Cup win for Mastnak, who has won three more since then. It was also the first ever World Cup podium for Kwiatkowski, who currently has eight World Cup podiums and is a former world champion. He is seeking his first World Cup podium since the 2022-23 season.

● Ester Ledecka (CZE) won the first ever women’s Parallel Giant Slalom in Scuol in 2018, ahead of Alena Zavarzina (RUS) and Ladina Jenny (SUI). 2017-18 was the last season for Zavarzina, who retired at the end of that season after taking part in her third Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang.

● Last year's Men's Parallel Giant Slalom Word Cup race in Scuol was won by the eventual Crystal Globe winner Maurizio Bormolini (ITA), ahead of Dominik Burgstaller (AUT) and Andreas Prommegger (AUT).

● Last year’s Women’s Parallel Giant Slalom World Cup race in Scuol was won by Aleksandra Krol-Walas (POL), ahead of Tsubaki Miki (JPN) and Tomoka Takeuchi (JPN). This was the second World Cup win for Krol-Walas, three years after her first win in 2022. She made the podium twice since then, but Scuol is her last World Cup win to date.

It was the second win in a row for Auner in Davos, as he also won the 2024 race. Out of four individual World Cup wins, three of them came from Parallel Slalom and only one in Parallel Giant Slalom. This was also the first Men’s World Cup race of the season which was not won by an Italian athlete, as Italy has won the first four races of the season, with four different athletes.

● Elisa Caffont (ITA) won the Davos Women’s Parallel Slalom in Davos before the Christmas break, ahead of Zuzana Maderova (CZE) and Tsubaki Miki (JPN).

● The last time there were no Italians or Austrian athletes in the top three of the Men’s Parallel standing was in the 2005-06 season, when Switzerland placed three athletes in the top three.
