“It’s unbelievable, the GS has always been so important to me. I always knew if I’m skiing fast in GS, then I’m skiing fast also in super-G and downhill,” she said.

After lifting the Super-G title on Friday, the 32-year-old has matched some legendary feats, including becoming the first Swiss woman after Vreni Schneider to win three World Cup classifications in a single season. Schneider had achieved this feat in the 1994-95 season.

"Incredible season!"

Mikaela Shiffrin also shared a congratulatory message for Gut-Behrami on her Instagram story after she clinched the GS title. Shiffrin, who recently won her 97th World Cup race opted out of the GS citing her lack of preparation.
