(CNN)History was made, sporting idols were spotted and an Austrian great ensured the World Ski Championships in Switzerland's famous resort St Moritz -- the home of skiing, glitz and glamor -- concluded in style.
To mark the end of the two-week championships, CNN Sport picks out five St. Moritz highlights.
Success breeds success
Once again Marcel Hirscher was the leading man on the slopes.
The Austrian, 27, who had been suffering with flu, secured two golds (giant slalom and slalom) and a silver (super combined), making him the most successful athlete of the championships. It was, he said, the perfect two weeks.
Meanwhile, Mikaela Shiffrin secured slalom gold, to add to her giant slalom silver. The 21-year-old's win made her the first woman since Germany's Christi Cranz in 1939 to capture three successive slalom World Championship golds.
Roger Federer is a ski fan
The championships were Switzerland's most successful in nearly 30 years as the host nation won seven medals -- their most since 1989.
Switzerland's three golds, two silvers and two bronze medals placed them second in the medal table behind Austria, who won nine. It bodes well for the Swiss ahead of next year's Winter Olympics.
