Alpine skiing World Cup to balance speed, technical events

The 2021-22 Alpine skiing World Cup has the same number of speed events and technical events after tech skiers benefited from an unbalanced schedule in recent seasons.

The World Cup is scheduled to have its traditional opening giant slaloms in Soelden, Austria in late October.

Races will go through the World Cup Finals in Courchével and Meribel, France, in late March after a break for the Olympics in February.

The men and women each have 18 speed races, 18 tech races and two parallel events, according to the International Ski Federation on Wednesday.

There will be no combined events on the World Cup for a second consecutive season, but the combined remains on the Olympic program.
