FIS Alpine World Championships 2021 will be held in Cortina, d'Ampezzo (Italy), from February 8-21. Men's and ladies' downhill, super-G and slalom events will be featured in the competition.
Also, there will be an alpine mixed event for both men & women. This new competition is a great way to bring together athletes from different disciplines and see how they do on a combined race course.
Olympic medalists of previous Games are likely to make an appearance at Beijing Olympics. They'll be competing in 11 events for more than 33 medals (the mixed team competition being the first). Mikaela Shafferin (reigning champion) and Alexis Pinturault (defending champion), are just a few of the favourites.
Team USA has 21 athletes set to compete at the 2021 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in Cortina d'Ampezzo, with four-time slalom world champion Mikaela Shiffrin, as well as three-time giant slalom and two-time super-G world champion Breezy Johnson leading the charge. There are plenty of other exciting names as well, including Katie Hensien, AJ Hurt, Isabella Wright, Jett Seymour and River Radamus.
Athletes have been training for weeks on the Roc de Fer and L'Eclipse pistes in Meribel, where both men's and women's parallel slalom medal races will be held. This will be the first ever time that competitions are split between two venues.
Natalie Geisenberger, Germany's defense queen of luge, is one to watch. Felix Loch from Switzerland is the triple-Olympic gold winner. These two athletes have shown great results in the luge over the past weeks and it's likely that they will start the race.
There is plenty of depth to the men's side and Austria has two medalists, Matthias Mayer and Vincent Kriechmayr. Despite not having won any World Cup downhill races, neither one of them has been able to win this season. However, they both have strong performances in other events and could be in position for a gold medal.
Another to watch is American Ryan Cochran-Siegle, who's been on fire this season in both speed and technical races. He's a serious contender in the combined alpine and technical races, and is well placed to win his World Cup Downhill medal.
Sweden's Sofia Vasic and Russia's Evgeny Arbatov are both expected to be strong contenders for a place on the podium in slalom and super-G, although they aren't in their prime. They have had their best performances in smaller events this year, so they will need to find their rhythm at the bigger events if they are to challenge for Olympic glory.
The GB U21 Alpine skiers were in action at this week's FIS World Junior Championships Bansko 2021. Abi Bruce (left) and Liv Foster (right) both put in solid performances. It is the first time GB has had 2 women in the top 30 in any Alpine discipline since 2000 when Chemmy Alcott and Amanda Pirie were ranked in Quebec.
