2020 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Women's Overall
2020 Women's Overall World Cup | |
Previous: | Next: 2021 |
The Women's Overall World Cup 2019/2020 involved 30 events in 6 disciplines: downhill (DH), Super-G (SG), giant slalom (GS), slalom (SL), Alpine combined (AC), and parallel (PAR). Three-time defending champion Mikaela Shiffrin of the United States had established a significant lead when her father Jeff suffered what proved to be a fatal head injury at the start of February, and Shiffrin missed the remainder of the season.[1] After her departure, the two skiers closest to her in the overall standings, Federica Brignone of Italy and Petra Vlhová of Slovakia, competed in every event remaining in the season, regardless of the discipline, in an attempt to pass Shiffrin.
Brignone grabbed the lead when she won the Alpine combined race in Crans-Montana on 23 February and Vlhová, who had been second-fastest in the Super-G leg, straddled a gate in the slalom and didn't score any points.[2] After just one more race six days later, the season was terminated; none of the final ten events were held due to a combination of bad weather (for the first three) and the COVID-19 pandemic for the remainder.[3] As a result, Brignone became the first Italian woman to ever win the women's overall World Cup championship and the crystal globe that comes with it.[4]
