Gut makes World Cup overall skiing title official (The Associated Press)

Lara Gut made her World Cup overall title official despite finishing 13th in difficult conditions in the last downhill of the season on Wednesday. Lindsey Vonn flew in to collect her eighth crystal globe in the discipline on a snowy opening day at the World Cup finals, and Peter Fill became the first Italian to win the men’s downhill title. Although Gut’s title – the first for a Swiss woman in 21 years – was effectively sealed last weekend at nearby Lenzerheide, it became a mathematical certainty in front of more home fans in St. Moritz.
