Downhill is considered the premier discipline and is the longest and, after the Slalom, second-oldest alpine skiing competition. Due to the high speeds involved, Downhill is by far the most risky discipline. Downhill emphasizes "the six components of technique, courage, speed, risk, physical condition, and judgement", according to the FIS International Ski Competition Rules.

Downhill World Champion Franjo Von Allmen won the sixth race of the Alpine Ski World Cup Downhill season in Crans Montana. Today, the 24-year-old talent secured his second Downhill win of the winter season, bringing his total Alpine Ski World Cup victories to five. Dominik Paris finished in second place, 0.65 seconds behind the Swiss skier, while US skier Ryan Cochran-Siegle placed third, 0.70 seconds behind.
