2020–21 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

2020–21 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup

The International Ski Federation (FIS) Alpine Ski World Cup was the premier circuit for alpine skiing competition. The inaugural season launched in January 1967, and the 2020–21 season marked the 55th consecutive year for the FIS World Cup.[1][2][3][4] As it had every year since 2006 (when the Sölden races were cancelled due to a snowstorm), the season began in Sölden, Austria in October, and it ended with the World Cup finals in March, which were held in Lenzerheide, Switzerland. However, the COVID-19 pandemic forced many changes to the original racing schedule. Among them were the following:

Further changes due to the pandemic were considered likely and are shown on the schedule below. However, two results of these COVID-related changes were that (1) no Alpine combined events were held during the season, despite the increased emphasis placed on such events beginning with the prior season, and (2) no World Cup races were held in North America for the first time since the 1973-74 season and only the second time in World Cup history.[5]
