The 2010 season also marked the end to a long and successful career for Liechtenstein skierMarco Büchel.
FIS standards require that three events be completed in a discipline for a discipline trophy to be awarded. During this season, there were only three combined races (all super-combined) scheduled for the women. Because the third race was cancelled on 5 March, FIS had to make a decision about whether an official trophy would be awarded for the discipline.[2] Ultimately, FIS decided to award the discipline trophy to the leader after two events,Lindsey Vonn, giving her four crystal globes for the year (overall, downhill, Super G and combined).[3]
