Previous: 2019 Next: 2021

The men's super-G in the 2020 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup involved six events, as the last two scheduled Super-Gs were canceled.

Contents

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. [1] 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, [2] and then the finals were also cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, [3] thus handing the season title to Caviezel by the three-point margin . . . without the expected showdown.

The Men's combined in the 2020 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup involved 3 events, all of which were completed before the season was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A major change was made in the discipline this season due to the recent dominance of slalom specialists in the combined over speed racers. As was previously the case, the first run continued to be the speed discipline. The second run then started in reverse order of finish in the speed run, which allowed the slalom specialists to tackle fresh snow as the first down the hill in the slalom run, while the speed specialists had to face the more challenging rutted snow at the end of the day, as the last skiers of the 30 who qualified for the second run. Instead, the second run was changed to start in the same order as the finish of the speed run, so that the leader after the speed run became the first to race on the fresh slalom course.

The women's super-G in the 2022 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup consisted of nine events including the final. Although no Italian woman had ever won the super-G championship, the battle in 2021-22 was between three of them: speed specialists Sofia Goggia and Elena Curtoni plus 2020 overall champion Federica Brignone. Through the first six races, Curtoni had won one, and each of the others had won two. However, Goggia was injured in a crash in the sixth race, in Cortina d'Ampezzo, and missed the next set of speed races as well as the super-G in the 2022 Winter Olympics. The seventh race, which was held days before the Winter Olympics, was skipped by many of the other top competitors, but was won by Brignone, enabling her to open a sizable lead in the discipline, and Brignone was able to clinch the season championship in the next Super-G when neither Curtoni nor Goggia scored points.

However, the race was rescheduled to Wengen on 13 January 2022. After this race, 2016 champion Aleksander Aamodt Kilde of Norway had won three of the five completed races and led the discipline; two other races were within 100 points of his lead, although no one was closer than 60 points behind. Kilde then clinched the discipline championship for the season in front of a home crowd by winning the next-to-last race of the season in Kvitfjell.

The original schedule called for nine events, but a scheduled downhill at St. Anton on 14 January was converted to a super-G due to the inability to hold pre-race practice runs on either of the two days prior to the event. A later super-G at Cortina was converted into a downhill to restore the original schedule balance, but then a downhill at Crans Montana on 25 February had to be delayed a day due to fog and dangerous course conditions, and the super-G previously scheduled for that day was cancelled and not rescheduled.

The season had been planned with fourteen downhills, but early in the season, two scheduled downhills on 29/30 October 2022 on the Matterhorn, running from Switzerland (Zermatt) into Italy (Cervinia), were canceled due to lack of snow and not rescheduled. Later in the season, a downhill scheduled for Garmisch-Partenkirchen on 28 January 2023 was also cancelled for lack of snow and not rescheduled. Finally, on 3 March, a scheduled downhill at Aspen was canceled due to poor visibility and deteriorating weather conditions, even though 24 racers had already started. The first out of the starting gate, Norway's Adrian Smiseth Sejersted, held the lead and was hoping for six more competitors to start so that the race would become official, but the weather conditions prevented that.
