Due to persistent snowfall and poor forecasts, the first training run on the Tofana slope in Cortina d'Ampezzo was cancelled on Wednesday afternoon. Further training runs for the Olympic downhill are scheduled for Friday and Saturday (11:30 a.m. each day), with the race itself planned for Sunday (11:30 a.m.).

The men, however, completed their first training session in Bormio on Wednesday. American Ryan Cochran-Siegle was the fastest.
