Italian skier Federica Brignione won the World Cup title, the Great Crystal Globe, tonight after the downhill in San Velio, Idaho, was canceled due to strong winds and snow.

This is Brignone's second World Cup triumph, after 2020. She arrived in San Vela with a 382-point lead over Switzerland's Lara Gut-Behrami, who now has no chance of catching her.

Men's and women's downhill races were supposed to take place in San Velio tonight, but both were canceled, so Brignione and Swiss Marco Odermatt won the titles in that discipline as well - small crystal globes.

Brignone won the small crystal globe in the downhill for the first time, finishing the event with 384 points, 16 more than Austria's Cornelia Hitter. Italy's Sofia Godgia is third with 350 points.

Odermatt, who previously won his fourth consecutive Grand Crystal Globe, won his second downhill title tonight. He has 605 points, ahead of Switzerland's Franz von Almen, who has 522.

On Sunday, the men's and women's super-G races are scheduled.
