Mikaela Shiffrin will ski through the pain of a left knee and ankle sprain that she sustained at the end of January, in an incident that required the 29-year-old to be airlifted to hospital. Understandably, she's swerving the speed events in order to focus on technical events at Saalbach, and could break the record for the most victories in any discipline in a single season.

Lara Gut-Behrami, meanwhile, is on course to win the women's overall title, which crowns the best all-around skier. If she pulls it off, the 32-year-old will go down in the books as the oldest woman to do so. Meanwhile, Marco Odermatt has been so dominant that he secured the men's overall title nearly a month ago, and the 26-year-old is now one win away from breaking the record for the most victories in a single season.

Here's how to watch FIS Ski World Cup Finals live streams for free and from anywhere. We’ve also listed the full Saalbach 2024 schedule further down the page.
