2022 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Women's Overall

The Women's Overall World Cup 2021/2022 consisted of 37 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 2021–22 season cancelled due to the schedule disruption cased by the COVID-19 pandemic, which also happened in 2020-21. The season was interrupted by the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China (at the Xiaohaituo Alpine Skiing Field) from 6–19 February 2022.

Mikaela Shiffrin of USA, season champion.

In the 35th event of the season, with just two events in the finals remaining, three-time overall champion Mikaela Shiffrin of the United States clinched her fourth championship, building an insurmountable 236-point lead over defending overall champion Petra Vlhová of Slovakia.[1] Although Shiffrin had a huge lead early in the season, she then had a bout with COVID and also skipped several races both while preparing for and then immediately after the Winter Olympics, giving Vlhová a chance to catch up (of which she took advantage).[2] However, Shiffrin re-established her lead in the first events in March.[3] After Vlhová closed to 56 points, Shiffrin won the downhill at the World Cup finals, an event in which she rarely competes, to re-establish a triple-digit lead,[4] and her second place in the next day's Super-G clinched the her fourth title, even with Lindsey Vonn and behind only Annemarie Moser-Pröll, who won six.[5]

The last events of the season took place at the World Cup final, Wednesday, 16 March through Sunday, 20 March in the linked resorts of Courchevel and Méribel, France, which are located in Les Trois Vallées.[6] Only the top 25 in each specific discipline for the season and the winner of the Junior World Championship in each discipline were eligible to compete in the final, with the exception that athletes who have scored at least 500 points in the overall classification were eligible to participate in any discipline, regardless of their standing in that discipline for the season.
