Italy's Federica Brignone was crowned this season's women's World Cup overall champion on Saturday after the cancellation of the downhill races in Sun Valley, Idaho, due to strong winds. Brignone secured her second overall crown at the age of 34 and became the oldest skier - male or female - to claim an overall World Cup title in alpine skiing.
She also won the overall World Cup in 2020 after American defending champion Mikaela Shiffrin took time out following the death of her father in February of that year. The cancellation of Saturday's downhill races ensured Brignone could no longer be overtaken in the standings. She also secured the season’s downhill crown.
