What are the differences between the alpine skiing events

Alpine skiing is a discipline of skiing that involves sliding down snow-covered slopes on skis with fixed-heel bindings. There are five different alpine skiing events, each with its own unique characteristics and challenges.

Downhill

The downhill event is the most famous and prestigious of alpine skiing. It is a high-speed race against the clock, with skiers reaching speeds of up to 90 miles per hour. The course is typically very steep and challenging, with large jumps and technical turns.

Super-G

Super-G is similar to downhill, but with a shorter and less challenging course. It is also raced against the clock, but skiers can take more risks and make more aggressive turns.

Giant slalom

Giant slalom is a technical event that requires skiers to make wide, sweeping turns. The course is set with a series of gates that skiers must pass through. Giant slalom is often used as a qualifier for other alpine skiing events.

Slalom

Slalom is the most technical of all the alpine skiing events. The course is set with a series of closely spaced gates that skiers must navigate quickly and precisely. Slalom requires excellent balance and coordination.

Alpine combined

Alpine combined is a combination of downhill and slalom. Skiers first compete in a downhill run, and then they compete in a slalom run. The skier with the lowest combined time wins the event.
