"Shiffrin needed only to finish in the top 15 of Wednesday's giant slalom in Lillehammer, and the American secured that before Aicher had even began her second run."
"It's quite emotional, Shiffrin said. This thing sums up a whole season of work and fighting with the whole team and I have to say to Emma that her skiing has been just outstanding."
"Shiffrin finished this season on 1,410 points, 87 points ahead of Aicher. Marcel Hirscher leads the men's list with eight overall titles."
Mikaela Shiffrin secured her sixth women's overall World Cup skiing title by finishing 11th in the final race of the season. She needed to place in the top 15 to clinch the title, which she achieved before Emma Aicher began her second run. Aicher finished 12th, falling short of winning the title. Shiffrin expressed gratitude for her team's support and acknowledged Aicher's outstanding performance. This victory ties her with Annemarie Moser-Proll for the most overall titles in women's skiing history.
