It is the first time the podium has been dominated by Italian women in World Cup racing since 1996.

Brignone won in a time of 1min 58.01sec.

She was joined on the podium by Sofia Goggia in second, in a time of 1:59.45, while Marta Bassino rounded out the podium in 1:59.48.

Despite finishing in fifth today, France's Tessa Worley secured her career-first discipline crystal globe.

She finished top of the giant slalom standings with a season's score of 685 points.

Worley secured the first giant slalom globe for a French woman since 1993, when Carole Merle was victorious.

The United States' Mikaela Shiffrin finished in second place on 600 points while Goggia rounded out the podium in third on 405.

“It was tough," said Worley.

"I mean, I really wanted to ski with my heart, but my mind was always taking over sometimes.

"And in the second run, I knew I didn’t have a choice so I just went for it, kept it simple and I’m just really, really happy with the season.

"We worked really hard, but now I have it and the whole team has it, so I’m just really, really proud."

Elsewhere today, Andre Myhrer of Sweden claimed victory in the last men's slalom of the year.

Myhrer's time of 1:27.97 was good enough to secure his first podium finish of the year.

Germany's Felix Neureuther skied a blistering second run to move from sixth into second place in a time of 1:28.11.

Austria's Michael Matt held on for the final podium spot with his time of 1:28.12.

Matt's compatriot, Marcel Hirscher, led after the first run but fell back to fourth place.

He still collected his fourth career slalom crystal globe with a total of 735 points.

It capped off a career-best season for the Austrian after he won two World Championship titles, two discipline globes, and his sixth consecutive overall World Cup title.

Norway's Henrik Kristoffersen took second on 575 while Manfred Moelgg finished in third with a total of 476.
