Giant Slalom
Giant slalom (GS) is an alpine skiing and alpine snowboarding discipline. It involves skiing between sets of poles ("gates") spaced at a greater distance from each other than in slalom but less than in Super-G. Giant slalom and slalom make up the technical events in alpine ski racing. This category separates them from the speed events of Super-G and downhill. The technical events are normally composed of two runs, held on different courses on the same ski run. Course The vertical drop for a GS course must be for men, and for women. The number of gates in this event is 56–70 for men and 46–58 for women. The number of direction changes in a GS course equals 11–15% of the vertical drop of the course in metres, 13–18% for children. As an example, a course with a vertical drop of would have 33–45 direction changes for an adult race. Speed Although giant slalom is not the fastest event in skiing, on average a well-trained racer may reach average speeds of . Equipment ...

Alpine Skiing
Alpine skiing, or downhill skiing, is the pastime of sliding down snow-covered slopes on skis with fixed-heel bindings, unlike other types of skiing ( cross-country, Telemark, or ski jumping), which use skis with free-heel bindings. Whether for recreation or for sport, it is typically practiced at ski resorts, which provide such services as ski lifts, artificial snow making, snow grooming, restaurants, and ski patrol. "Off-piste" skiers—those skiing outside ski area boundaries—may employ snowmobiles, helicopters or snowcats to deliver them to the top of a slope. Back-country skiers may use specialized equipment with a free-heel mode, including 'sticky' skins on the bottoms of the skis to stop them sliding backwards during an ascent, then locking the heel and removing the skins for their descent. Alpine skiing has been an event at the Winter Olympic Games since 1936. A competition corresponding to modern slalom was introduced in Oslo in 1886. Participants and venues ...

2020–21 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup
The International Ski Federation (FIS) Alpine Ski World Cup was the premier circuit for alpine skiing competition. The inaugural season launched in January 1967, and the season marked the 55th consecutive year for the FIS World Cup. As it had every year since 2006 (when the Sölden races were cancelled by a snowstorm), the season began in Sölden, Austria in October, and it ended with the World Cup finals in March, which were held in Lenzerheide, Switzerland. However, the COVID-19 pandemic forced many changes to the original racing schedule. Among them were the following: Canceled events: Val d'Isere (AC); St. Anton (AC); Crans-Montana (AC); Levi (Men); Lech (Team); Lake Louise (3 DH, 2 SG); Alta Badia (P); Davos (P), Beaver Creek (DH, SG, GS); Chamonix (DH, P); Bansko (AC); Bormio (AC); Wengen (DH, SL, AC); Maribor (SL) and Åre (GS).

2020 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Men's Combined
The Men's combined in the 2020 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup involved 3 events, all of which were completed before the season was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A major change was made in the discipline this season due to the recent dominance of slalom specialists in the combined over speed racers (downhill/Super G). As was previously the case, the first run continued to be the speed discipline (with Super-G having the preference over downhill). The second run (the slalom) then started in reverse order of finish in the speed run, which allowed the slalom specialists (who tended to be significantly slower in the speed run) to tackle fresh snow as the first down the hill in the slalom run, while the speed specialists had to face the more challenging rutted snow at the end of the day, as the last skiers of the 30 who qualified for the second run. Instead, the second run was changed to start in the same order as the finish of the speed run, so that the leader after the speed run b ...

2020 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Men's Super-G
The men's super-G in the 2019–20 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup, 2020 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup involved six events, as the last two scheduled Super-Gs were canceled. With three events to go, 2016 discipline champion Aleksander Aamodt Kilde held a slim lead in the Super-G over four competitors ranging between 51 and 74 points behind; however, at a Super-G race in Hinterstoder, Austria, Kilde crashed and failed to finish, allowing the top two finishers in the race—Swiss skier Mauro Caviezel (who had been in second and finished second) and local native Vincent Kriechmayr (who had been in fifth and won)—to both pass Kilde with two races still to go in the season. Caviezel held a narrow three-point lead over Kriechmayr, with Kilde 29 points back and the other two still in close pursuit. However, the next-to-last Super-G of the season at Kvitfjell, Kilde's home turf, was cancelled due to bad weather, and then the finals were also cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, thus handing th ...

2020 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Men's Giant Slalom
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. However, first the World Cup finals scheduled for Cortina d'Ampezzo were cancelled by the COVID-19 pandemic, and then the races scheduled in Kranjska Gora were also cancelled by the pandemic.

2020 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Men's Slalom
The men's slalom in the 2020 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup involved only nine events, as the final three scheduled slaloms of the season were cancelled. After the retirement of Marcel Hirscher, who had won the slalom discipline in six of the prior seven seasons, the strong favorite for the discipline championship was 2016 winner Henrik Kristoffersen of Norway (the only prior champion still active). Kristoffersen, in fact, had gotten off to a huge lead over the field in the middle of the season. However, after failing to finish a slalom in Chamonix, Kristoffersen was clinging to just a two-point lead in this discipline over Clément Noël of France (who won the race), with three races still remaining on the schedule. But then a race in Japan was canceled due to high winds, followed by the season finale scheduled for Cortina d'Ampezzo being cancelled by the COVID-19 pandemic, and finally, the race scheduled in Kranjska Gora was also cancelled by the pandemic.

2020 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Men's Overall
The men's overall in the 2020 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup consisted of 36 events in 6 disciplines: downhill (DH), Super-G (SG), giant slalom (GS), slalom (SL), Alpine combined (AC), and parallel (PAR). The season was originally scheduled to have 44 men's races plus a mixed team event, but a race in Japan plus final the seven men's races and the mixed team event were all cancelled, as discussed below. A new overall champion was certain to be crowned, as Marcel Hirscher of Austria, the winner of the previous 8 World Cup overall titles, had retired at the end of the 2019 season, and all winners prior to him had also retired. And the battle eventually turned into a three-man battle between two Norwegians -- Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, a speed specialist, and Henrik Kristoffersen, a technical specialist -- and a Frenchman -- Alexis Pinturault, who competes in all disciplines. After only canceling one race all season (in Japan) thanks to aggressive rescheduling, the season was terminated ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
