Downhill racing, before the slalom - drama is guaranteed in the men's alpine combined skiing event at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.

Frenchman Alexis Pinturault won silver in this event four years ago and is one of the dominant figures on the alpine combined scene. After a maiden World Cup giant slalom title in 2021, the 30-year-old says 鈥渁 big bit of pressure鈥� was lifted from his shoulders 鈥� so can he go one better in Beijing? Austrian Marco Schwarz finished fourth in PyeongChang and although his 2021-22 season has been derailed by injury, the reigning combined world champion is a match for anyone on his day and has been compared to the legendary Marcel Hirscher. Norway鈥檚 hopes rest on the shoulders of Aleksander Aamodt Kilde.
