Seasons

I don't like the article names as "2005 Alpine skiing World Cup". Better call it the "2004-2005 Alpine skiing World Cup". The Alpine skiing World Cup is based on the winters of the Northern Hemisphere season, and runs from October to March. / J 1982 15:15, 24 October 2006 (CET)

Nations Cup

I don't find any entry related to the Nations Cup in the Alpine skiing World Cup (i.e. the ranking according to the World Cup points achieved by all racers of each Nation). Does anyone know if such an entry already exists? 85.124.105.247 23:28, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added a complete table of Nations Cup results to the article earlier this year, along with a complete breakdown of race wins for each nation. --Seattle Skier (talk) 20:00, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i changed some data(total standings) for 1980 and 1981 acc. to http://www.fis-ski.com/uk/disciplines/alpineskiing/cupstandings.html?suchen=true&suchcompetitorid=&suchseason=1981&sector=AL&suchgender=&suchcup=NC&suchnation=&discipline=ALL&search=Search and http://www.fis-ski.com/uk/disciplines/alpineskiing/cupstandings.html?suchen=true&suchcompetitorid=&suchseason=1980&sector=AL&suchgender=&suchcup=NC&suchnation=&discipline=ALL&search=Search

The FIS database is incorrect. Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 21:52, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Most overall World Cup titles

This title is confusing. It sounds like has won the Overall Title the most times. Instead it is who has won the most amount of disciplinary titles overall, yet it does not include overall titles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joelcanski (talk • contribs) 16:09, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Parallell Slalom

The information regarding parallell slalom is unclear and inconsistent. FIS Alpine Ski World Cup#Parallel events shows some races, their winners, and which races counted for official statistics. That is fine. Some of those races are not included in the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup#Most successful race winners table, which they should be, if they don't count in the overall wins they can be put in parenthesis, there's a notification below the table that not all parallell wins count, and those that don't count should then be shown in parenthesis. Also, aside from this there have been more slalom races where the skiiers have been skiing head-to-head parallell to each other. An example is the 2001 race in Sestriere, which was called "KO-Slalom". Link here: http://www.fis-ski.com/pdf/2003/AL/6010/6010.pdf . -- Lejman (talk) 02:33, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Of Ladies and Gentlemen, Men and Women

Why are women called ladies here, but men not gentleman? Especially if there is an article called Alpine Skiing World Cup Women (though, to be exact it redirects to "List of FIS Alpine Ski World Cup women's champions"). Am I missing some social rules in the English language? (My mother tongue is German - In the German article they use Damen/Herren afaik). Imho, it should be changed to "women" everywhere, but I want input from native speakers. Judith Sunrise (talk) 01:41, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I now changed it after a very brief discussion here. Judith Sunrise (talk) 16:43, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nations Cup

The section below Nations Cup points table has this: Several nations with under 30 wins have 100% of them in technical events, led by Finland and Spain.
But that is not true. At least, in the table, Spain has one victory in Downhill, so it is 92% in technical events. According to the table, actually, the only ones with 100% in technical events are Finland, New Zealand, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Bulgaria. Of which, only Finland has more than 5 wins.
And there is no nation with 100% in speed events, now that Aleksandr Khoroshilov won his first slalom race. 212.50.203.198 (talk) 16:56, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Vienna Parallel

According to fis-ski.com, Vienna's Parallel (30.12.1985) was part of the World Cup - but the result don't count in overall standing. The winner (Ivano Edalini) was awarded a world cup victory. Should this event not be moved in the "world cup" table? (Parallel section)185.64.197.40 (talk) 23:18, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That event did only count for the nations cup (like other "Parallels"); Mr. Edalini, but also Leonhard Stock (winning in Berlin) are affected. 213.225.0.117 (talk) 13:45, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Time limits

Dear Sir, I would like to suggest to give any information about time limits.

I know it by myself but I would like to cit. German Wikipedia. Since (maybe 1992/93 or 1993/94) there are time limits: If a racer is more than 8 percents (in the Combined 15 percents) behind the winner's time he doesn't gain points (even she or he is placed 25th - or maybe 15th). Already, regulations regarding going return in slaloms and giant slaloms (if a racer is missing a gate) did change a few years ago (almost exclusively it is not allowed), the handling did become to do not go return because exceeding the limit. I would like to point out that time limits maybe not guilty in races at World Championships or Olympics (but mentioned regulations regarding going back are guilty). 213.225.0.117 (talk) 14:04, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
