Overview
- Shiffrin secured the crown Wednesday in Lillehammer after placing inside the top 15 of the giant slalom, as Canada’s Valérie Grenier won the race.
- Her push over the line followed Tuesday’s slalom victory, her ninth in 10 this season, which set a single-season slalom wins record and marked her 110th World Cup win.
- Lucas Pinheiro Braathen took the men’s giant slalom season title on Tuesday for Brazil by winning the race after standings leader Marco Odermatt failed to finish his first run.
- Odermatt had already locked up the overall, downhill, and super-G globes, while the men’s slalom title was still in play with Atle Lie McGrath leading the standings and only sixth after the first run.
- Season titles hinge on cumulative points that award 100 for a win, so Shiffrin’s consistent slalom dominance and a safe GS finish were enough to tie Annemarie Moser-Pröll’s women’s record of six overall globes.
