Three women were expected to contest the medals – Anja Pärson (SWE), World Cup champion in 2004; Janica Kostelić (CRO), defending champion in the event, 2005 World Champion, 2003 World Cup champion and leading the current season World Cup race; and Tanja Poutiainen (FIN), 2005 World Cup champion and runner-up at the 2005 World Championships to Kostelić. Poutiainen was fourth on the first run but a poor second run would drop her back to sixth overall. Kostelić also struggled for her, with fifth place on run one and fourth on run two placing her only fourth overall. But Pärson came thru, winning the first run, and placing second on the second to win the gold medal. The silver medal went to Austrian Nicole Hosp, who won the second run and had placed second on the first, while her teammate Marlies Schild, took the bronze medal.
