2022 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Men's Slalom

The Men's Slalom World Cup 2021/2022 consisted of 10 events including the final. However, the slalom scheduled in Zagreb on 5 January was first delayed until 6 January due to bad weather and then cancelled in the middle of the first run (after 19 skiers) due to additional bad weather,[1] leading to its removal from the schedule. Eventually, however, it was rescheduled for Flachau on 9 March, restoring the season to 10 events.

Henrik Kristoffersen of Norway, season champion.

Going into the break for the 2022 Winter Olympics, the leader after two-thirds of the events was Lucas Braathen from Norway, who held a slim lead over his countryman Sebastian Foss-Solevåg. However, eight racers were still within 100 points (one race) of the lead. After the Olympics, the next two races were both won by another Norwegian, 2020 discipline champion Henrik Kristoffersen, who took over the lead with only two races remaining in the season.[2] Kristofferson then won the season championship by finishing second in the final.[3]

The World Cup final was held on Sunday, 20 March in the linked resorts of Courchevel and Méribel, France, which are located in Les Trois Vallées, on the Roc de Fer course at Méribel.[4] Only the top 25 skiers in the World Cup downhill discipline and the winner of the Junior World Championship, plus athletes who have scored at least 500 points in the World Cup overall classification for the season, are eligible to compete in the final, and only the top 15 earn World Cup points.
