The women's downhill in the 2024 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup is currently scheduled to consist of ten events, including the final.[1] The tentative schedule called for eleven events, but a new event, the team combined, which was scheduled for 16 February 2024 in Crans Montana, was cancelled and converted into an additional downhill on the final schedule, increasing the planned schedule to twelve.
Season summary
The first two downhills of the season were scheduled for 18 and 19 November 2023 on the "Gran Becca" course on the Matterhorn, which crosses an international border between the start (Zermatt, in Switzerland) and the finish (Cervinia, in Italy); the course name comes from the local dialect in Valtournenche, in which the Matterhorn is called “Gran Becca”, meaning “big peak”.[2] However, the first downhill of the season was cancelled due to high winds on the Matterhorn, and its rescheduling or replacement is currently not planned.[3] The scheduled race the next day also was cancelled due to high winds, and its rescheduling or replacement is also not planned, reducing the season to ten events.[4]
As a result, the first downhill was held in St. Moritz, Switzerland on 9 December, and visibility deteriorated so badly during the break after the first 30 skiers that the remainder of the race was canceled after 35 skiers; three of the five after the break failed to finish.[5] However, the race was official since the 30 skiers had already gone, and it resulted in an upset victory for two-time defending overall champion Mikaela Shiffrin of the U.S. (only her fourth downhill win of her all-time record 91 total victories).[5]
Finals
The World Cup finals in women's downhill are scheduled on Saturday, 23 March 2024 in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Austria. For the first time since the finals began in 1993, the downhill is scheduled to be the last event of the finals instead of the first. Only the top 25 skiers in the World Cup downhill discipline and the winner of the Junior World Championship, plus any skiers who have scored at least 500 points in the World Cup overall classification for the season, are eligible to compete in the discipline final, and only the top 15 will earn World Cup points.
