2011 World Cup Champions
Ivica Kostelić became the first man from Croatia to win the overall World Cup.
Maria Riesch became the first German woman since Katja Seizinger in 1998 to win the overall World Cup.

Being an odd-numbered year, the biennial World Championships took place in February. The 2011 World Championships were held between 8–20 February at Garmisch Classic in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria, Germany.

The season saw the introduction of a new event to the World Cup, the city event. The race in parallel giant slalom took place in Munich, Germany.[2]

The overall titles were won by Maria Riesch of Germany and Ivica Kostelić of Croatia; both skiers winning their first overall crowns. Kostelić secured his overall victory several races before the end of the season while Riesch and Lindsey Vonn of the United States were close together before the finals at Lenzerheide, Switzerland. Riesch had a significant lead after the World Championship but Vonn caught up and took the lead before the last slalom race. Slovenia's Tina Maze won her first slalom in that race, Riesch's fourth place compared to Vonn's thirteenth gave her a three-point advantage.[3] The cancellation of the last race – one of four to be cancelled at Lenzerheide – meant that Riesch won the title.[4]

This is because in a case such as that in Lenzerheide, in which weather conditions force the cancelation of more than one race, there are no reserve days to ensure that all canceled races will be rescheduled and officials point out that it would be unfair to reschedule one race and not another.
