Schmidt took third a further 0.15 seconds adrift, while Mobaerg was fourth, matching her best career finish, having also featured in the Innichen big final in 2022.
Jole Galli (ITA) won the small final, with Marielle Thompson (CAN), Marielle Berger Sabbatel (FRA), and Veronika Redder (GER) finishing in sixth, seventh and eighth respectively.
Naeslund arrived in Gallivare 175 points ahead of Maier and needed to be in the top 10 on Saturday to lift her fourth Crystal Globe.
And the top qualifier delivered, winning her quarterfinal ahead of Berger Sabbatel, Jade Grillet Aubert (FRA), and Katrin Ofner (AUT) in the first women’s heat of the day, before Maier could affect the Crystal Globe race.
Naeslund is just the second athlete of any gender to win five or more Crystal Globes, with only Ophelie David (FRA) having won more (seven).
Naeslund also won her semifinal en route to her 10th World Cup win of the season. She is now on 1,168 points, breaking the record for the most World Cup points in a single season by an athlete of any gender.
She rewrote her own mark, set in the 2012/22 season, when she amassed 1150 points.
Naeslund has a chance to gain more points tomorrow, when she seeks her 50th World Cup win.
“It’s motivation,” she said of the milestone. “I secured the globe now, got a victory in Sweden. Just going to enjoy tomorrow, ski as fast as I can.”
This is the first time that Naeslund has won the Crystal Globe on home snow.
