FIS Men's Alpine Skiing World Cup: Bormio

Bormio, in the Italian Dolomites, hosts the latest round of the men's World Cup, featuring a downhill competition. Originally there were many skiing competitions throughout the world, but in 1962 the FIS created a unified competition.

All the best skiers now compete for the FIS Alpine World Cup, travelling the world to premier ski resorts to gather 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 and the individual disciplines are downhill, slalom, giant slalom, super G and combined, ensuring that every attribute of modern skiing technique is thoroughly tested. To win the combined title, therefore, is the mark of a truly accomplished skier.
