Overview
- Shiffrin secured the big crystal globe on Wednesday in Lillehammer by finishing 11th in the season-ending giant slalom, which Canada’s Valérie Grenier won.
- The American tied Annemarie Moser‑Pröll’s women’s record with six overall titles and extended the all‑time World Cup wins mark to 110.
- Nine wins in 10 slalom races, plus a second place in the other, supplied most of her season points in a system that awards 100 for a win across all disciplines.
- She prevailed by 87 points, with Shiffrin at 1,410 and Aicher at 1,323, after the German’s final‑race path required a GS win with Shiffrin 16th or worse and unraveled in run two.
- The U.S. women also captured the Nations Cup team title for the first time since 1982, reflecting depth beyond Shiffrin with 27 podiums from 16 athletes.
