Mikaela Shiffrin has secured a record-tying sixth women’s overall World Cup skiing title. She achieved this by holding off a challenge from Emma Aicher in the final race of the season in Norway on Wednesday.
Shiffrin only needed to finish in the top 15 of a giant slalom to secure the title. The American standout achieved this before Aicher even began her second run.
