2024 Men's Downhill World Cup
Previous: 2023 Next: 2025

The men's downhill in the 2024 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup is scheduled to consist of twelve events, including the final. The season had been planned with thirteen downhills, but two scheduled downhills on 11/12 November 2023 on the Matterhorn, running from Switzerland (Zermatt) into Italy (Cervinia), were canceled for the second straight year, this time due to heavy snowfall and high winds (unlike the year before, when the cancellation was due to lack of snow), and only one has been rescheduled (at Val Gardena on 12 December).[1][2] The two downhill races after that, scheduled in the U.S. at Beaver Creek, Colorado, were also cancelled for the same reason, although they still may be rescheduled—meaning that the downhill season had not completed a race as of early December despite having had four scheduled, with the next attempt being the rescheduled race at Val Gardena/Gröden. One of the Beaver Creek races was rescheduled at Wengen on 11 January 2024.[3]

Season summary

After the cancellations, the season began with the make-up at Val Gardena/Grõden, which was won (in a huge upset) by American Bryce Bennett (who did not start in the top 30), edging out two-time defending discipline champion Aleksander Aamodt Kilde from Norway and two-time overall champion Marco Odermatt from Switzerland.[4] In the next race, on the Stelvio in Bormio, overall World Cup leader Marco Schwarz of Austria suffered a season-ending knee injury, and Switzerland's Marco Odermatt, who finished second, took over first place in the discipline for the season.[5]

Finals

The season final is scheduled to take place on 24 March at Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Austria. Only the top 25 in the downhill standings and the downhill gold medalist at the Junior World Championships are eligible to compete in the downhill finals, with the exception that any skier who has earned at least 500 points in the overall standings is eligible to compete in any discipline, regardless of his standing in the downhill for the season. Due to the reduced field, only the top 15 will earn points.
