2024 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Men's super-G

The men's super-G in the 2024 Alpine Skiing World Cup consisted of seven events, including the final. The first event of the season was not scheduled until 3 December 2023 in Beaver Creek, and six of the eight races were scheduled to be complete by the end of January 2024. However, as described below, the first race in Beaver Creek was canceled and not rescheduled.

Season summary edit

The Super-G scheduled in Beaver Creek was cancelled due to high winds, as all three men's events over that weekend were cancelled for the same reason.[1] When the first race of the season was finally held in Val Gardena/Gröden on 15 December, 2021 discipline champion Vincent Kriechmayr of Austria edged both his teammate Daniel Hemetsberger and defending discipline champion Marco Odermatt to seize the early lead in the discipline race, although Odermatt took over first in the overall competition.[2].In the next event, Odermatt won and took over first in the discipline standings as well.[3]

The next three super-Gs, all in January 2024, were won by three different skiers; Cyprien Sarrazin of France;[4] Nils Allègre of France (his first World Cup podium); [5] and Odermatt again.[6] With his victory, Odermatt opened up a 121-lead in the discipline for the season, with only two races (200 points) to go.[6] However, in Kvitfjell, the last race in the discipline before the finals, Kriechmayr triumphed while Odermatt only tied for third, giving Kriechmayr, now just 81 points behind Odermatt, at least a mathematical shot at the discipline crown.[7]

Finals edit

The World Cup discipline final took place on Friday, 22 March 2024 in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Austria.[8] Only the top 25 in the Super-G discipline ranking and the winner of the Junior World Championship in Super-G (Max Perathoner of Italy) were eligible to compete in the final, except that any skier who has scored at least 500 points in the overall classification for the season could participate in any discipline, regardless of his performance in that discipline during the season. Because of the reduced field size, only the top 15 finishers in each discipline scored points. Due to injuries during the season, Hemetsberger and two Norwegians -- Adrian Smiseth Sejersted and former discipline champion Aleksander Aamodt Kilde -- were unable to compete in the finals, and no 500-point skiers who were not otherwise eligible chose to compete, so the final field consisted of 23 racers.

In the final, Stefan Rogentin of Switzerland, who hadn't finished better than seventh all season, edged his countrymen Loïc Meillard and Arnaud Boisset for the top step of the podium, which gave Odermatt, who finished fifth, his second consecutive season title in the discipline.[9]
