Don’t Miss the Action: Your Ultimate Guide to Watching Lindsey Vonn and Mikaela Shiffrin at the Skiing World Championships – Schedule & Tips Inside!

Saalbach-Hinterglemm in Austria is buzzing with excitement as the Alpine skiing world championships kick off. This thrilling event, often just called the “worlds,” happens every other year at various ski resorts, bringing together the best skiers from around the globe.

This year’s championship runs for 13 days and features 11 medal events. Skiers will compete in the classic events: super-G, downhill, giant slalom, and slalom for both women and men. There’s also a team parallel race and new team combined events. Athletes vie for gold, silver, and bronze in each competition, and the pressure is on since it’s just a year before the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics.

Some big names are returning to the slopes. Lindsey Vonn, after nearly six years away, is back with a titanium knee. She’ll compete in the super-G on Thursday and the downhill on Saturday. Meanwhile, Mikaela Shiffrin is recovering from an injury but is set to race in the giant slalom on February 13 and in the slalom on February 15. They may even join forces in the new team combined event on February 11.

Other top competitors include Swiss skier Marco Odermatt, who excels in various events except for slalom. The excitement is palpable as these athletes gear up to showcase their skills.

If you’re eager to catch the action, viewers in the U.S. can stream the events live on skiandsnowboard.live. In Canada, races will be available to stream live on CBC. Europeans can watch on Eurosport and various national channels.

The event starts with the team parallel race on Tuesday at 3:15 PM local time, followed by the women’s super-G on Thursday at 11:30 AM. The finals wrap up with the men’s slalom on Sunday, February 16.

It’s important to note the difference between the world championships and the World Cup. The World Cup is skiing’s regular season, running from October to March, and features races in multiple locations. During the world championships and Olympic Games, the World Cup takes a break, allowing athletes to focus on these major competitions.

This year’s championships are set to be an unforgettable showcase of talent and spirit. With ski legends returning and new events to watch, it’s a perfect time for skiing fans to tune in and cheer for their favorites!
