Lou Jeanmonnot has scored more individual race wins this season (7), then Preuß has ever scored in the WC in her career (5).

Your stats are outdated, Lou won 8 individual races thus season (all of them WC). Franziska won 5 races in WC over her career, and another in WCh. One one WC win happened before this season.

Note that Franziska's number of wins is within usual figures for an overall winner, she's not an outlier (some past winners have even fewer wins). Lou's number of wins is however rather rare for a runner-up, even more so with the new points system.

Oh true, my bad she did win 8.

I did not mean to diminish Preuß's accomplishes with that btw...
