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

The men's overall in the 2024 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup is currently scheduled to consist of 41 events in four disciplines: downhill (DH) (10 races), super-G (SG) (7 races), giant slalom (GS) (11 races), and slalom (SL) (13 races). The season was originally scheduled with 45 events, but the first three events of the season (a giant slalom on the glacier at Sölden and two downhills on the Matterhorn) were cancelled due to high winds and heavy snowfall.[1][2] The cancelled giant slalom was subsequently rescheduled for Aspen on 1 March,[3] and one of the canceled races from Zermatt-Cervinia (the Matterhorn) was rescheduled to Val Gardena/Gröden on 12 December. As discussed under "Season Summary" below, there were additional cancellations and reschedulings after the opening races.

As is the case every fourth year, there are no other major FIS events (world championships or Olympics) taking place during this season.[4] The fifth and sixth current FIS disciplines, parallel (PAR) and Alpine combined (AC), were eliminated from future World Cup schedules due to a lack of participation or interest in staging these events, and a new event that had been contemplated on the tentative schedule for the season, a team combined (which had been planned for 20 January 2024 at Kitzbühel), was also eliminated and replaced with an additional downhill.[4] Thus, for the second straight season, only the four major disciplines will be contested.

Season summary

Because of the three straight cancellations to start the season, the only race held before December 2023 was a slalom at Gurgl, won by the Austrian skier Manuel Feller, who thus held the overall lead. The next three races after that, speed events scheduled for Beaver Creek in the U.S., were also cancelled due to high winds and heavy snowfall, bringing the total to six cancellations with only one race held.[5] When the second race was finally contested, all-discipline skier (and 2021 slalom champion) Marco Schwarz of Austria took over the overall lead by finishing second again, with Feller in second overall.[6] However, the very next race, a slalom, was again canceled due to overnight rains followed by new snow and high winds, bringing the number of canceled races to seven (and now including each of the four disciplines).[7]

The first speed races were finally held on 14–16 December, and the "battle of the Marcos" was finally underway. Swiss two-time defending overall champion Marco Odermatt's two third-pace finishes in the first two speed races propelled him past Marco Schwarz, who only managed a fifth, and into the overall lead by 15 points.[8] At Alta Badia, Odermatt extended his dominance inmgiant slalom to six in a row, winning both races and jumping out to a lead over Schwarz of 92 points, with everyone else at least 250 points down.[9] However, Schwarz's victory in the next race, a slalom (the only discipline in which Odermatt does not compete) moved Schwarz into the overall lead for the season by 8 points.[10] In the very next race, a downhill in Bormio, the "Battle of the Marcos" came to an end for the season, when Marco Schwarz suffered a season-ending knee injury while Marco Odermatt finished second and reclaimed the lead.[11] Odermatt's victory in a super-G the next day gave him the season lead in every discipline except slalom and a lead of almost 400 points over his closest competitor who was still active, Aleksander Aamodt Kilde of Norway.[12] Odermatt continued his season-long giant slalom winning streak at Adelboden, extending his lead over Kilde to over 400 points.[13]

Finals

The last events of the season are scheduled for the World Cup finals at Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Austria. This season, for the first time, the finals will take place over two weekends—16-17 March 2024 for the technical events and 22–24 March 2024 for the speed events—with the last race for the men (the downhill) taking place on Sunday, 24 March. Only the top 25 in each discipline and the winner of the Junior World Championship in each discipline are eligible to compete in the finals, with the exception that any skier who has scored at least 500 points in the overall classification is eligible to participate in any discipline, regardless of his standing in that discipline for the season. Due to the reduced field, only the top 15 in each discipline will earn World Cup points.
