The hunt for the Overall Titles in many of the FIS disciplines came down to the wire, with several crystal globes being decided only on the last weekend of action.
In the three Nordic disciplines, Germany and Norway each earned two Overall Titles, with Austria picking up one. In Cross-Country, Marit Bjoergen and Martin Johnsrud Sundby earned top honours for Norway. While Germany’s Eric Frenzel took the top prize in Nordic Combined, along with fellow countryman Severin Freund earning the crystal globe in Ski Jumping. Rounding out the season winners in the Nordics was Daniela Iraschko-Stolz (AUT) in ladies’ Ski Jumping.
It was an Austrian sweep in Alpine Skiing for the second straight season as Anna Fenninger and Marcel Hirscher both defended their overall titles from the previous season.
The Freestyle Skiing crystal globes were handed out in five events for men’s and ladies. The Americans took home the most hardware from the season, earning three of the 10 globes. Austria and Canada each earned two of the Season Titles, while athletes from Sweden, France and Switzerland each earned one globe.
