2021 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Women's Parallel
The women's parallel competition in the 2021 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup consisted of only 1 event, a parallel giant slalom, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tentative schedule had called for three parallel events, but the other two (scheduled for St. Moritz and Davos, Switzerland) were removed to limit the amount of travel during the pandemic. The sole event was won by Petra Vlhová, who thus won the season championship, although a crystal globe was not awarded for it due to the limited events. This specific championship includes both parallel giant slalom and parallel slalom races. At this time, parallel races are not included in the season finals, being held in 2021 in Lenzerheide, Switzerland. The season was interrupted by the 2021 World Ski Championships, which were held from 8–21 February in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. The women's parallel giant slalom was held on 16 February 2021.

Petra would later become the capital city of the Nabataean Kingdom in the second century BC. The Nabataeans invested in Petra's proximity to the incense trade routes by establishing it as a major regional trading hub, which gained them considerable revenue. Unlike their enemies, the Nabataeans were accustomed to living in the barren deserts and thus were able to defend their kingdom. They were particularly sk ...
