Ski races don't get much bigger and better than the FIS Men's Alpine Skiing World Cup in Wengen. With a three-mile slope, the Lauberhorn is both the oldest and the longest downhill race in the World Cup calendar.
The Alpine World Cup is the most glamorous event in skiing. The skiers travel the world to compete, gathering points as they go. There are separate awards for the individual disciplines, but the Holy Grail is the title of Alpine World Cup Overall Champion.
The tournament is divided into the Ladies' and Men's events, often held in different locations. The individual disciplines, for both sexes, are downhill, slalom, giant slalom, super G and combined. Every aspect of modern skiing technique is thoroughly tested, so to win the combined title is the mark of a truly accomplished skier.
