2020 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Men's giant slalom

2020 Men's Giant slalom World Cup Henrik Kristoffersen of Norway, season champion 2020 Men's World Cup Overall • Downhill • Super-G Giant slalom • Slalom Combined • Parallel
Previous: 2019	Next: 2021

The men's giant slalom in the 2020 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup involved seven events, as the last two scheduled giant slaloms in the season were cancelled.

After the retirement of Marcel Hirscher, who had won the last five season titles in giant slalom, the 2020 race in the discipline was wide open, although the focus was on the two skiers fighting for the overall title: Henrik Kristoffersen of Norway and Alexis Pinturault of France. After Pinturault won the seventh giant slalom of the season (his third giant slalom victory in 2020; no one else had two), prior discipline leader Žan Kranjec of Slovenia dropped into fourth place, and Kristofferson (who finished third) was clinging to a six-point lead for the discipline championship over Pinturault with two races to go.^[1]

However, first the World Cup finals scheduled for Cortina d'Ampezzo were cancelled by the COVID-19 pandemic,^[2] and then the races scheduled in Kranjska Gora were also cancelled by the pandemic.^[3] The cancellations handed the season title in giant slalom (as well as the title in slalom) to Kristoffersen without the expected showdown.^[4]
