The men's super-G in the 2019–20 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup, 2020 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup involved six events, as the last two scheduled Super-Gs were canceled. With three events to go, 2016 discipline champion Aleksander Aamodt Kilde held a slim lead in the Super-G over four competitors ranging between 51 and 74 points behind; however, at a Super-G race in Hinterstoder, Austria, Kilde crashed and failed to finish, allowing the top two finishers in the race—Swiss skier Mauro Caviezel (who had been in second and finished second) and local native Vincent Kriechmayr (who had been in fifth and won)—to both pass Kilde with two races still to go in the season. Caviezel held a narrow three-point lead over Kriechmayr, with Kilde 29 points back and the other two still in close pursuit. However, the next-to-last Super-G of the season at Kvitfjell, Kilde's home turf, was cancelled due to bad weather, and then the finals were also cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, thus handing th ...

2020 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Men's Giant Slalom
The men's giant slalom in the 2020 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup involved seven events, as the last two scheduled giant slaloms in the season were cancelled. After the retirement of Marcel Hirscher, who had won the last five season titles in giant slalom, the 2020 race in the discipline was wide open, although the focus was on the two skiers fighting for the overall title: Henrik Kristoffersen of Norway and Alexis Pinturault of France. After Pinturault won the seventh giant slalom of the season (his third giant slalom victory in 2020; no one else had two), prior discipline leader Žan Kranjec of Slovenia dropped into fourth place, and Kristofferson (who finished third) was clinging to a six-point lead for the discipline championship over Pinturault with two races to go. However, first the World Cup finals scheduled for Cortina d'Ampezzo were cancelled by the COVID-19 pandemic, and then the races scheduled in Kranjska Gora were also cancelled by the pandemic.

2020 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Men's Slalom
The men's slalom in the 2020 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup involved only nine events, as the final three scheduled slaloms of the season were cancelled. After the retirement of Marcel Hirscher, who had won the slalom discipline in six of the prior seven seasons, the strong favorite for the discipline championship was 2016 winner Henrik Kristoffersen of Norway (the only prior champion still active). Kristoffersen, in fact, had gotten off to a huge lead over the field in the middle of the season. However, after failing to finish a slalom in Chamonix, Kristoffersen was clinging to just a two-point lead in this discipline over Clément Noël of France (who won the race), with three races still remaining on the schedule. But then a race in Japan was canceled due to high winds, followed by the season finale scheduled for Cortina d'Ampezzo being cancelled by the COVID-19 pandemic, and finally, the race scheduled in Kranjska Gora was also cancelled by the pandemic.

2020 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Men's Overall
The men's overall in the 2020 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup consisted of 36 events in 6 disciplines: downhill (DH), Super-G (SG), giant slalom (GS), slalom (SL), Alpine combined (AC), and parallel (PAR). The season was originally scheduled to have 44 men's races plus a mixed team event, but a race in Japan plus final the seven men's races and the mixed team event were all cancelled, as discussed below. A new overall champion was certain to be crowned, as Marcel Hirscher of Austria, the winner of the previous 8 World Cup overall titles, had retired at the end of the 2019 season, and all winners prior to him had also retired. And the battle eventually turned into a three-man battle between two Norwegians -- Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, a speed specialist, and Henrik Kristoffersen, a technical specialist -- and a Frenchman -- Alexis Pinturault, who competes in all disciplines. After only canceling one race all season (in Japan) thanks to aggressive rescheduling, the season was terminated ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The International Ski Federation (FIS) Alpine Ski World Cup, the premier circuit for alpine skiing competition, began in January 1967, and the season marked the 54th consecutive year for the FIS World Cup.

The season was supposed to end with the World Cup finals in March, which were to be held in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy for the first time since they began in 1993, but the finals were cancelled due to the COVID-19 outbreak in Italy.

Slalom Skiing
Slalom is an alpine skiing and alpine snowboarding discipline, involving skiing between poles or gates. These are spaced more closely than those in giant slalom, super giant slalom and downhill, necessitating quicker and shorter turns. Internationally, the sport is contested at the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships, and at the Olympic Winter Games. History The term slalom comes from the Morgedal/ Seljord dialect of Norwegian word "slalåm": "sla", meaning "slightly inclining hillside", and "låm", meaning "track after skis". The inventors of modern skiing classified their trails according to their difficulty. ''Slalåm'' was a trail used in Telemark by boys and girls not yet able to try themselves on the more challenging runs. ''Ufsilåm'' was a trail with one obstacle (''ufse'') like a jump, a fence, a difficult turn, a gorge, a cliff (often more than high) and more. ''Uvyrdslåm'' was a trail with several obstacles. A Norwegian military downhill competition in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
