Mikaela Shiffrin won a record-tying sixth World Cup season title on Wednesday in Hafjell, Norway.
Heading into the giant slalom, the final race of the season, Shiffrin had an 85-point lead over Emma Aicher of Germany. A finish no lower than 15th place would result in claiming the title. Aicher could steal the title if she won the race and Shiffrin finished below 15th in the giant slalom.
Shiffrin finished 11th, and Aicher ended in 12th place.
Shiffrin, 31, tied Annemarie Moser-Proll with her sixth season championship. The Austrian won five season titles from 1971-75 and the final one in 1979.
The 2026 Olympic champion in the slalom, Shiffrin won the World Cup title in consecutive years from 2017-19 and again in 2022 and 2023.
'It's quite emotional,' Shiffrin said to the International Ski and Snowboard Federation after the race. 'I'm really grateful to be in this position now. It's really a big emotion, but I'm so grateful for the fight.'
Lindsey Vonn is next on the list with four overall titles.
With her slalom win on Tuesday, Shiffrin earned her 110th career victory on the World Cup circuit, extending her lead over Ingemar Stenmark of Sweden, who won 86 before his retirement in 1989.
