2021 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Women's Overall

The Women's Overall World Cup 2020/2021 involved 31 events in 5 disciplines: downhill (DH), Super-G (SG), giant slalom (GS), slalom (SL), and parallel (PAR). The sixth discipline, Alpine combined (AC), had all of its events in the 2020–21 season cancelled due to the schedule disruption cased by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the next-to-last event, Slovakian skier Petra Vlhová clinched the overall title for the season over Swiss skier Lara Gut-Behrami.[1]

The last four events of the season were scheduled to take place at the final, Wednesday, 17 March through Sunday, 21 March in Lenzerheide, Switzerland. Only the top 25 in each specific discipline for the season and the winner of the Junior World Championship are eligible to compete in the final, with the exception that athletes who have scored at least 500 points in the overall classification are eligible to participate in any discipline, regardless of standing in that discipline for the season. However, on 17 March, the downhill final had to be cancelled after three days of heavy snowfall.[2] On 18 March, the Super-G final was also cancelled, eliminating the two finals in which Gut-Behrami had a predicted advantage over Vlhová.[3] After that, the bad weather moved out, and in the slalom final, Vlhová placed sixth, which gave her enough points to clinch overall victory.[1]
