Alpine Ski World Cup Finals Live: Downhill Men & Women (Emma Aicher) on ZDF, Eurosport

Today marks the final downhill races of the Alpine Ski World Cup season. Here's a comprehensive guide on where to watch the men's and women's events live.

On Saturday, March 21st, the Alpine Ski World Cup circuit hosts its concluding two downhill races in Oslo, Norway. The men's competition kicks off at 10:45 AM, followed by the women's race at 12:30 PM (all times CET).

German skier Emma Aicher still harbors hopes of clinching the coveted overall Crystal Globe. She currently holds second place in the overall standings, trailing American superstar Mikaela Shiffrin. Aicher's chances are boosted by Shiffrin's absence from today's downhill event, with Aicher set to start in position eleven.

Where to Watch the Alpine Ski World Cup Finals Live: TV and Livestream Options

Both downhill races will be broadcast live on free-to-air television via ZDF and Eurosport.

ZDF's coverage begins with pre-race reports for the men's event at 10:40 AM, and for the women's race at 12:20 PM. Viewers can also access free livestreams through the ZDF Mediathek and sportschau.de.

Sports channel Eurosport will also air both downhill races live. For those looking to stream Eurosport's coverage, it is available through subscription services such as discovery+ and HBO Max, requiring a paid membership.

Can Emma Aicher Achieve the Major Upset?

Following her second-place finish in the Åre (Sweden) slalom, where she was just behind Mikaela Shiffrin, Emma Aicher trails the American by 140 points. This keeps the German athlete firmly in the race for the overall Crystal Globe, especially considering Shiffrin will not participate in today's downhill.

Beyond the downhill, this thrilling final weekend also features the Super-G, a discipline where Shiffrin rarely competes, but Aicher is currently ranked third. Slalom and Giant Slalom events are also scheduled in Oslo. Strong performances from Emma Aicher in these remaining races could significantly challenge the favorite, Mikaela Shiffrin.
