2020 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Women's Super-G
The women's super-G in the 2020 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup involved 6 events, which produced six different winners from five different countries. Defending champion Mikaela Shiffrin from the United States was leading the discipline standings when her father Jeff suffered what proved to be a fatal head injury at the start of February; Shiffrin immediately went home to Colorado and ended up missing the remainder of the season. Eventually, Swiss skier Corinne Suter, who held a slim 19-point lead over Federica Brignone of Italy with just the finals remaining, won the discipline title for 2020 when the finals, scheduled for Thursday, 19 March in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy The COVID-19 pandemic in Italy is part of the ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 () caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ().

2020 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Women's Slalom
The women's slalom in the 2020 Alpine Skiing World Cup involved 6 events, although there were 9 originally scheduled. Defending champion Mikaela Shiffrin from the United States was leading the discipline standings by 80 points after 5 events when her father Jeff suffered what proved to be a fatal head injury at the start of February, and Shiffrin immediately left the tour to return home to Colorado, which eventually caused her to miss the remainder of the season. Slovakian skier Petra Vlhová won the next event in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia, to move 20 points ahead of Shiffrin with three events remaining. But all of the final three events were cancelled. First, the slalom scheduled for Ofterschwang, Germany was canceled due to lack of snow and a bad forecast.

2020 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Women's Overall
The women's overall in the 2020 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup involved 30 events in 6 disciplines: downhill (DH), Super-G (SG), giant slalom (GS), slalom (SL), Alpine combined (AC), and parallel (PAR). This was the first year that parallel was treated as a separate discipline; prior to the 2019–20 season, it had been a sub-element of the slalom discipline. The season had originally been scheduled to have 41 races (plus one mixed-team race at the World Cup finals), but 11 races that had originally been scheduled (and the mixed-team race) were canceled during the season, mostly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as discussed below. As a side note, in a preseason vote FIS voted to change its official designation in the English language (but not in French or German) for female competitors from "Ladies" to "Women". All new FIS documents in English will immediately begin to use the new terminology. Three-time defending champion Mikaela Shiffrin of the United States had established a signifi ...

2019–20 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup
The International Ski Federation (FIS) Alpine Ski World Cup, the premier circuit for alpine skiing competition, began in January 1967, and the season marked the 54th consecutive year for the FIS World Cup. As it had every year since 2006 (when the Sölden races were cancelled by a snowstorm), the season began in Sölden, Austria in October. The season was supposed to end with the World Cup finals in March, which were to be held in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy for the first time since they began in 1993, but the finals were cancelled due to the COVID-19 outbreak in Italy. As part of an effort to control the expansion of the World Cup circuit while fighting increased specialization, the city events were dropped this season, to be replaced by more parallel events at regular venues, while the Alpine combined was expanded. Due to the recent dominance of slalom specialists in the Alpine combined races, the format for that discipline was changed this season. As was previously the case, ...

2019 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Women's Combined
The Women's Combined in the 2019 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup involved only 1 event. Only two had been scheduled, but the first was cancelled due to unseasonably warm weather. The one race was won by Federica Brignone of Italy, who not only won at Crans Montana for the third straight year but also won the season championship (although not a crystal globe due to only having one race in the discipline). At this time, combined races were not included in the season finals, which were held in 2019 in Soldeu, Andorra. The season was interrupted by the 2019 World Ski Championships, which were held from 4–17 February in Åre Åre () is a locality and one of the leading Scandinavian ski resorts situated in Åre Municipality, Jämtland County, Sweden with 3,200 inhabitants in 2018.

2019 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Women's Downhill
The women's downhill in the 2019 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup involved eight events, including the season finals in Soldeu, Andorra. Defending discipline champion Sofia Goggia of Italy fractured her ankle prior to the start of the season and missed five of the eight events, ending her chances to repeat. In addition, 2018 runner-up Lindsey Vonn of the USA, who had closed the prior season by winning all of the final four downhills and needed only four more victories to equal Ingemar Stenmark's all-time World Cup victory record, began the season injured and announced her planned retirement at the end of the season, but was hampered during her comeback by her cumulative injuries, and finally retired immediately after the conclusion of the 2019 World Ski Championships. Among this wide=open field, Austrian skier Nicole Schmidhofer grabbed the lead in the discipline going into the next-to-last race of the season at Crans Montana in Switzerland, where a bizarre timing mishap occurred. ...

2019 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Women's Super-G
The women's super-G in the 2019 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup involved 6 events, including the finals in Soldeu, Andorra. Originally, the season had been planned to hold 8 events, but the two races scheduled in Sochi, Russia were cancelled due to continuing heavy snowfall. Mikaela Shiffrin from the United States generally specialized in the technical disciplines (slalom and giant slalom), not in the speed disciplines (downhill and super-G), but she jumped out to an early lead in Super-G by winning both of the first two races. Ultimately, Shiffrin only entered four of the six races held in the discipline (and had not entered the two cancelled races planned for Sochi), but her results in the completed races – 3 victories and a tie for fourth – were sufficient to win the discipline crystal globe for the season over two-time defending champion Tina Weirather of Liechtenstein (who needed to win the finals but did not finish). The win was Shiffrin's tenth discipline championship, b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
2019 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Women's Giant Slalom
The women's giant slalom in the 2019 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup involved 8 events. The battle for the discipline championship was waged between two skiers better known for their slalom prowess: Mikaela Shiffrin of the United States and Petra Vlhová of Slovakia. With only the World Cup finals in Soldeu on 17 March remaining, both women had posted three victories in the discipline to distance themselves from the two most recent champions in the discipline, Tessa Worley of France and Viktoria Rebensburg of Germany. But Shiffrin's two other podium finishes, which Vlhová couldn't match, had staked Shiffrin to a 97-point lead over Vlhová, which meant that all Shiffrin needed to do in the finals was finish in the top 15 (since only the top 15 score points in the finals). Instead, Shiffrin actually won the finals to decisively eliminate Vlhová, who finished third in the race. The season was interrupted by the 2019 World Ski Championships, which were held from 4–17 February in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
2019 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Women's Slalom
The women's slalom in the 2019 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup involved 12 events, including three parallel slaloms (one parallel slalom and two city events). At the end of the season, a new discipline was created for parallel races. Two-time defending champion Mikaela Shiffrin from the United States won ten of the twelve races en route to winning an all-time record 17 races during the season (finishing second in the other two); this was Shiffrin's sixth discipline championship in slalom, tying the women's record for career slalom championships set by Vreni Schneider (the men's record is eight, set by Ingemar Stenmark), and she has now won 40 slaloms, tying Stenmark's total in the discipline. Shiffrin scored 1,160 points in the discipline for the season out of a possible 1,200. Runner-up Petra Vlhová of Slovakia also had an outstanding year with ten podiums (two wins, seven seconds, and a third), but she still finished almost 300 points behind Shiffrin.
