Alpine competition - Alpine competition
Skiing developed against the backdrop of the European Alps. There are downhill, slalom (slalom), giant slalom, super-G (a mixed event between giant slalom and downhill), and combined events. All of these are dynamic events in which participants ski down steep mountains, and the only competition is time. It is the star event of the Winter Olympics, and consists of four events: downhill, slalom, giant slalom, and super-G, as well as combined events, in which the time spent in slalom and downhill is added together, and super combined events, which combine slalom and super-G. Traditionally, Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy, Northern Europe, and the United States have produced strong skiers in the Olympics and World Cup. Japan's only medal was won by Igaya Chiharu in the slalom at the 1956 Cortina d'Ampezzo Olympics, where he won a silver medal. In the same slalom at the 2006 Turin Olympics, Minagawa Kentaro placed 4th and Yuasa Naoki placed 7th. →Nordic events→Related topics: Arlberg Skiing | Grass Skiing | Happo-one
