The Men's Downhill World Cup 2021/2022 included eleven events including the final. A scheduled downhill on 5 December 2021 at Beaver Creek, Colorado was cancelled due to bad weather, but after several abortive attempts to run it at other venues, it was finally added to Kvitfjell on March 4, the day before the previously-scheduled race. After ten events, with just the season final remaining, Aleksander Aamodt Kilde of Norway had won three times and was clinging to a 23-point lead over four-time defending champion Beat Feuz of Switzerland going into the final, with Matthias Mayer of Austria and Dominik Paris of Italy also still alive. In the final, Kilde finished fourth for 50 points, but Feuz could only manage to finish third for 60 points, allowing Kilde to win by 13 points and giving him a sweep of the speed titles for the season, as he had already won the Super-G championship.
