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.

At the Eden Gardens on Sunday, a noticeably different version of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi took the field. The teenage Rajasthan Royals (RR) sensation, spotted working on his defense alongside opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal during the warm-up ahead of an Indian Premier League clash with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), carried that preparation into the game itself.

Typically known for his aggressive, free-flowing strokeplay from the outset, Sooryavanshi showed a more measured approach on a surface that played slower than expected. He geared 30 per cent of his shots towards strike rotation, while a further 3.3 per cent were purely defensive during his 28-ball 46.

Asked about the same, RR’s lead assistant coach Vikram Rathour didn’t want to take any credit away from the youngster. “It was entirely Vaibhav’s decision. He’s been asked to back his instinct. The surface was slow. However, we didn’t expect it to be this slow. They played accordingly. We assess every situation and adapt. They did that brilliantly in the first 10 overs,” he said.

The conversation around Sooryavanshi eventually trickled down to the KKR press conference as well. Spinner Varun Chakaravarthy, while answering a specific query on Sooryavanshi’s first-ball six against Jasprit Bumrah in an earlier game in Guwahati, said, “Don’t say that he didn’t respect Bumrah and all. That pitch was conducive for batting. This pitch was such that the ball was not coming onto the bat properly. Against Bumrah, the pitch was batting-friendly, and the ball just happened to be in the slot. That’s why it happened.”
