La Copa del Mundo de Esquí Alpino de la FIS es el principal circuito internacional de competiciones de esquí alpino , inaugurado en 1966 por un grupo de amigos y expertos de las carreras de esquí que incluía al periodista francés Serge Lang y los directores del equipo de esquí alpino de Francia (Honore Bonnet) y EE . UU. ( Bob Beattie ). [1] Pronto fue respaldado por el presidente de la Federación Internacional de Esquí Marc Hodler durante el Campeonato Mundial de Esquí Alpino FIS de 1966 en Portillo, Chile , y se convirtió en un evento oficial de la FIS en la primavera de 1967 después del Congreso de la FIS en Beirut , Líbano. La primera carrera de esquí de la Copa del Mundo se celebró en Berchtesgaden , Alemania Occidental, el 5 de enero de 1967. Jean-Claude Killy de Francia y Nancy Greene de Canadá fueron los ganadores absolutos de las dos primeras temporadas.
Reglas
Los competidores intentan lograr el mejor tiempo en cuatro disciplinas: slalom , slalom gigante , super G y descenso . El quinto evento, el combinado , emplea el descenso y el slalom. La Copa del Mundo incluía originalmente solo slalom, slalom gigante y carreras de descenso. Los eventos combinados (calculados utilizando los resultados de carreras seleccionadas de descenso y slalom) se incluyeron a partir de la temporada 1974–75 , mientras que el Super G se agregó para la temporada 1982–83 . El sistema de puntuación actual se implementó en la temporada 1991-1992 . Por cada carrera, se otorgan puntos a los 30 primeros clasificados: 100 puntos para el ganador, 80 para el segundo, 60 para el tercero, hasta 1 punto para el 30º lugar. El corredor con más puntos al final de la temporada a mediados de marzo gana la Copa, con el trofeo consistente en un globo de cristal de 9 kilogramos. [2] También se otorgan subpremios en cada disciplina de carrera individual, con un globo de cristal más pequeño de 3,5 kg. (Consulte la sección sobre el sistema de puntuación a continuación para obtener más información).
La Copa del Mundo se celebra anualmente y se considera la principal competencia para las carreras de esquí alpino después de los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno cuatrienales . Muchos consideran que la Copa del Mundo es un título más valioso que los Juegos Olímpicos o los Campeonatos del Mundo bienales , ya que requiere que un competidor esquíe a un nivel extremadamente alto en varias disciplinas a lo largo de la temporada, y no solo en una carrera. [3]
Las carreras se celebran principalmente en las estaciones de esquí de los Alpes en Europa, con paradas regulares en Escandinavia , América del Norte y el este de Asia, pero también se han realizado algunas carreras en el hemisferio sur. Las competiciones de la Copa del Mundo se han organizado en 25 países diferentes de todo el mundo: Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bosnia y Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Canadá, Croacia, República Checa, Finlandia, Francia, Alemania, Italia , Japón, Nueva Zelanda, Noruega, Polonia, Rusia, Eslovaquia, Eslovenia, Corea del Sur, España, Suecia, Suiza y Estados Unidos. [4] (Tenga en cuenta que todas las carreras de la Copa del Mundo organizadas en Bosnia se llevaron a cabo cuando todavía era parte de Yugoslavia).
Los circuitos competitivos más bajos incluyen la Copa NorAm en América del Norte y la Copa Europa en Europa.

Eslalon gigante paralelo
Introducida por la Federación Internacional de Esquí en la Copa del Mundo como un evento amigable para los espectadores a fines de 2015, la competencia de slalom gigante paralelo, o paralelo-G abreviado , que se une al slalom paralelo, tiene como objetivo atraer a más especialistas en velocidad al más rápido de los dos. disciplinas técnicas, además de atraer a sus fanáticos para ver las carreras en el lugar, en línea y por televisión. [11] La Federación no ha indicado, a principios de 2016, que están totalmente comprometidos a duplicar el esfuerzo, sin embargo, su calendario a largo plazo muestra que el plan es regresar a Alta Badia doce meses después del evento inaugural en diciembre de 2016. , y luego nuevamente, tentativamente, hasta diciembre de 2018. [12] Pocos lugares ofrecen la pendiente y las condiciones requeridas para albergar un circuito de Slalom Gigante extremadamente corto que pueda ser visto en su totalidad por una galería compacta de fanáticos. Modificado o no, la Federación no ha sugerido que llevarán el formato a recorridos de menor nivel como el NorAm y la Copa Europa.
Formato
El Director Jefe de Carrera del evento inaugural en Alta Badia, Markus Waldner, el 20 de diciembre de 2015 declaró que "grandes actuaciones" y "peleas cara a cara" entre los mejores corredores de Slalom Gigante es el objetivo de la competición. El recorrido de la primera carrera fue muy compacto, con una duración de aproximadamente 20–22 segundos, o aproximadamente un tercio de una carrera GS normal, sin embargo, el ritmo y la cadencia serán los mismos que en el Slalom gigante, no en el Slalom estándar. Las puertas se establecieron aproximadamente a las mismas distancias que GS y en una pendiente de aproximadamente el mismo paso. El campo de treinta y dos se dibujó siguiendo un formato "por invitación". Los cuatro mejores hombres en la clasificación general de la Copa del Mundo eran invitados automáticos, si optaban por competir. Otros dieciséis corredores fueron seleccionados de la parte superior de la clasificación actual de la lista de salida de GS, y los doce competidores finales fueron seleccionados de los esfuerzos de la primera carrera en el evento estándar de GS el día anterior en el mismo lugar. La superposición de calificaciones permitió a los patrocinadores invitar a participantes de menor rango para llenar los vacíos, según fuera necesario, y reemplazar a las personas que se negaron a participar. Los puntos se otorgaron y acumularon de acuerdo con los estándares actuales para la temporada de carreras en todas las categorías relevantes: la disciplina GS, la general y la Copa de Naciones. El campo se llenó con treinta y dos participantes de la primera ronda, cada uno de los cuales tuvo una carrera en cualquiera de los cursos. Los mejores tiempos combinados movieron al corredor más rápido a la segunda ronda a través de protocolos de preferencia de paréntesis. A partir de la segunda ronda, los esquiadores, las competencias cara a cara se llevaron a cabo en una sola carrera, y al esquiador más rápido de la ronda anterior se le otorgó la selección de recorrido entre el recorrido 'rojo-derecha' o 'azul-izquierda'. Aproximadamente en un tercio del tiempo de un evento estándar de GS, los finalistas de alto desempeño pudieron realizar múltiples carreras sin la fatiga de un evento más largo. El recorrido se estableció metódicamente con láseres y un Snowcat equipado con GPS , para garantizar que ambos recorridos en la colina fueran lo más idénticos posible para garantizar la equidad y una competencia justa. El director de carrera sugirió que la diferencia entre los dos carriles estaba dentro de la tolerancia de "1 a 2 centímetros" entre sí.

World Cup scoring system
The World Cup scoring system is based on awarding a number of points for each place in a race, but the procedure for doing so and the often-arcane method used to calculate the annual champions has varied greatly over the years. Originally, points were awarded only to the top 10 finishers in each race, with 25 points for the winner, 20 for second, 15 for third, 11 for fourth, 8 for fifth, 6 for sixth, 4 for seventh, and then decreasing by 1 point for each lower place. To determine the winner for each discipline World Cup, only a racer's best 3 results would count, even though there would typically be 6–8 races in each discipline. For the overall Cup, the best three results in each discipline would be summed. Until 1970, also the results of Winter Olympic Games races and Alpine World Ski Championship races were included in the World Cup valuation (i.e. Grenoble 1968 and Val Gardena 1970); this was abandoned after 1970, mainly due to the limited number of racers per nation who are admitted to take part in these events. For the 1971–72 season, the number of results counted was increased to 5 in each discipline. The formula used to determine the overall winner varied almost every year over the next decade, with some seasons divided into two portions with a fixed number of results in each period counting towards the overall, while in other seasons the best 3 or 4 results in each discipline would count.
Starting with the 1979–80 season, points were awarded to the top 15 finishers in each race. After 1980–81, the formula for the overall title stabilized for several years, counting the best 5 results in the original disciplines (slalom, giant slalom, and downhill) plus the best 3 results in combined. When Super G events were introduced for the 1982–83 season, the results were included with giant slalom for the first three seasons, before a separate discipline Cup was awarded starting in 1985–86 and the top 3 Super G results were counted towards the overall. The formula for the overall was changed yet again the following season, with the top 4 results in each discipline counting, along with all combined results (although the combined was nearly eliminated from the schedule, reduced to only 1 or 2 events per season).
This perennial tweaking of the scoring formula was a source of ongoing uncertainty to the World Cup racers and to fans. The need for a complete overhaul of the scoring system had grown increasingly urgent with each successive year, and in 1987–88 the FIS decided to fully simplify the system: all results would now count in each discipline and in the overall. This new system was an immediate success, and the practice of counting all results has been maintained in every subsequent season. With the ongoing expansion of the number and quality of competitors in World Cup races over the years, a major change to the scoring system was implemented in the 1991–92 season. The top 30 finishers in each race would now earn points, with 100 for the winner, 80 for second, 60 for third, and then decreasing by smaller increments for each lower place. The point values were adjusted slightly the following season (to reduce the points for places 4th through 20th), and the scoring system has not been changed again since that year. The table below compares the point values under all five scoring systems which have been in use:

Statistical analysis
Since the Top 30 scoring system was implemented in 1991–92., the number of completed men's or women's World Cup races each year has ranged from 30 to 44, so the maximum possible point total for an individual racer is about 3000–4400 under the current scoring system. However, very few racers actually ski in all events; for example, Bode Miller was "the only skier to have competed in every World Cup race"[25] during the three seasons from 2003–2005. The current record for total World Cup points in a season is Tina Maze's 2414 points in 2012–13, with the men's record of 2000 points set by Hermann Maier in 1999–2000. The fewest points for an overall champion under the current system thus far have been 1009 for men by Aksel Lund Svindal in 2008–09 and 1248 for women by Vreni Schneider in 1994–95. The largest margin of victory in the overall has been Maze's 1313 points in 2012–13, more than doubling second-place finisher Maria Höfl-Riesch's total, while the largest men's margin was 743 points by Hermann Maier in 2000–01. Note that in the early days of World Cup (when the first place was awarded only 25 points), even larger relative margins of victory were recorded in 1967 by Jean-Claude Killy with 225 points over Heinrich Messner with 114 points and in 1973–74 by Annemarie Moser-Pröll with 268 points over Monika Kaserer with 153 points. The closest finishes since 1992 have been minuscule margins of 6 points in 1994–95 (Vreni Schneider over Katja Seizinger), 3 points in 2004–05 (Anja Pärson over Janica Kostelić) and in 2010–11 (Maria Riesch over Lindsey Vonn), and only 2 points in 2008–09 (Aksel Lund Svindal over Benjamin Raich). The current men's record for total World Cup points in one month of the season is Ivica Kostelić's 999 points from January 2011.
The tables below contain a brief statistical analysis of the overall World Cup standings during the 21 seasons since the Top 30 scoring system was implemented in 1991–92. In general, over 1000 points are needed to contend for the overall title. At least 1 man and 1 woman has scored 1000 points in each of these seasons, but no more than 5 men's or women's racers have crossed that threshold in any single season. Of the 42 men's and women's overall champions in these years, 38 scored over 1200 points, 30 had over 1300 points, 19 reached 1500 points, and only 7 amassed more than 1700 points during their winning seasons. As for the runners-up, 37 of the 42 second-place finishers scored over 1000 points, 18 had over 1300 points, and only 4 reached 1500 points yet failed to win. Most overall titles have been won quite convincingly, by more than 200 points in 23 of 42 cases, while only 11 margins of victory have been tighter than 50 points.

World Cup Finals
Since 1993 the International Ski Federation (FIS) has hosted a World Cup Final at the end of each season in March. During five days, men's and women's races are held in four disciplines: slalom, giant slalom, Super G, and downhill, as well as a team event. Only a limited number of racers are invited to ski at the Finals, including the top 25 in the World Cup standings in each discipline, the current junior World Champions in each discipline, and any skiers with at least 500 points in the general classification. Because of the smaller field, World Cup points are only awarded to the top 15 finishers in each race.

Individual race wins are counted in this table, along with the nations team events held at World Cup Finals since 2006 (counts double as both men & women in mixed competition contribute to a win). The "parallel race" is a head-to-head slalom race format used occasionally from the 1970s through 1990s, and again in 2011. Team event wins are doubled (because on one team event race competed both women and men; so it's counted separately each for women and men). Results for West Germany and Germany are counted together in this table. All of Yugoslavia's wins are currently lumped in with Slovenia, since the skiers who won races for former Yugoslavia were all Slovenes from Slovenia (one of six Yugoslav Republics), and thus are listed under Slovenia in online databases. The Soviet Union and Russia are counted separately, as are Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic.
A total of 24 countries have won World Cup races, with 19 different countries winning men's races and 20 winning women's races. As expected, the top 10 nations in this list are the same as the 10 nations listed in the Nations Cup summary table (with slight changes in order).
Some interesting facts can be found in the data: Marc Girardelli accounted for all of Luxembourg's 46 wins, while Janica Kostelić has 30 of Croatia's 56 and her brother Ivica has the rest. Ingemar Stenmark still has nearly one-half of Sweden's 192 wins more than two decades after his retirement. Some nations specialize in either speed (downhill and Super G) or technical (slalom and GS) disciplines, while others are strong across the board. Among nations with 30+ wins, the Canadian team has won 73% of its races in speed events, while Yugoslavia/Slovenia has won 84% and Sweden 86% of their races in technical events, especially notable in Sweden's case given its large number of wins. Several nations with under 30 wins have 100% of them in technical events, led by Finland and Spain. In contrast Germany and Norway have the most even distribution without disproportionate strength or weakness in any one discipline. Some nations have strong teams in only one gender, as 92% of Norway's wins have come from their men and 83% of Germany's from their women, while the Swiss, French and Canadian totals are split almost equally.
Nations Cup
The Nations Cup standings are calculated by adding up all points each season for all racers from a given nation.

The early years of the World Cup, ‘67 through ‘72, were dominated by the French, as reflected in their Nations Cup wins in 5 of the first 6 years. The Austrian team then took over throughout the rest of the 1970s, followed by Swiss superiority during most of the 1980s. A resurgent Austrian team charged back to the top in 1988, beginning a long streak of consecutive Nations Cup triumphs. Austrian dominance reached its zenith in the late 1990s and 2000s (decade), when their points total regularly doubled that of the second-place finisher, and was capped in the 1999–2000 and 2003–4 seasons with totals that tripled those of runner-up Italy. Their 17927-point total in 1999–2000 is a Nations Cup record, as is their 12066-point margin of victory in 2003–4.
As of the end of the 2016–17 season, the Austrian team has won 30 consecutive Nations Cups, while topping the men's standings for 25 straight years. Austria is the only nation to have finished in the top 3 of the Nations Cup standings in all 50 years in which World Cup competition has been held, winning in 38 of those years, runner-up in 11 years, and third place in a single year. Austrian men have failed to make the podium in only one season: 1972. Austrian women have failed to make the podium in only 2 seasons: 1981 and 1982. Switzerland with 7 wins and France with 5 wins are the only other nations to have won the nations cup. In the midst of the ongoing Austrian juggernaut, the Swiss or Italian teams have usually held second place. The German team reached the runner-up spot for the first time in 1997–8, as did the Norwegians the next season. The US enjoyed its best placings ever starting in 2004–5, grabbing second in the Nations Cup for two straight years.
Under the current scoring system (since 1992), the winning nation (Austria every year) has averaged over 13000 points, with an average of over 6400 for the runner-up, 5400 for third place, 4200 for fifth, and 1300 for tenth. The all-inclusive scoring system (simply adding together all World Cup points earned) favors national teams with great depth and many racers scoring World Cup points, and even teams with several top racers have no realistic chance of breaking the Austrian grip on the top spot, while a team with only one or two top-ranked racers will struggle to ever break the top five in the standings. There have been numerous calls for a revamped scoring system which would allow other nations to compete more readily for top spots in the Nations Cup, but no changes are likely to be made.[31] In 2016, however, the Austrian men's team narrowly beat France by just 201 points.
The total number of top-three placings for each nation in the Nations Cup (through the 2020–21 season) are summarized below:
Nation | Total standings | Men's standings | Ladies' standings | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
First | Second | Third | First | Second | Third | First | Second | Third | |||

Crystal globe
Since 1967, the big crystal globe has been awarded for the overall title. From the beginning to 1971–72, discipline titles were awarded with medals. Statistically, those titles have the same value as the small crystal globes, which first appeared for discipline titles in slalom, giant slalom and downhill in the 1977–78. In super-G, the small globe has been awarded since 1985–86. For super-g races in the three seasons previous, points were added and calculated in the giant slalom ranking. In combined, the small crystal globe was officially awarded only between 2007-2012. Before that, combined season winners could not officially be considered as season titles. In those years FIS simply calculated points from the other two races, DH and SL.
