Marc Girardelli, is king of the Overall title, and his 5 Overall titles over the course of 9 seasons probably entitles
him to the claim of Luxembourg's greatest ever sportsman. To be fair, he was born and raised in the mountains of Austria,
as opposed to the gentle hills of the Grand Duchy, but this shouldn't detract from this being an incredible record
when you look at the quality of some of the skiers from the 80's and 90's.

Austria again dominate at the top of our most successful nations list, with 9 Overall titles to the country's name,

Luxembourg.
