Alpine skiing combined. Combined is an event in alpine ski racing. A traditional combined competition consists of one run of downhill and two runs of slalom, each discipline run on separate days. The winner is the skier with the fastest aggregate time. (Until the 1990s, a complicated point system was used to determine placings in the combined event.)
Alpine skiing has four different disciplines - downhill, super-G, giant slalom, slalom. The downhill is for speed freaks, and the slalom for master turners. The Super-G and giant slalom are somewhere in between, and a fifth event - the combined - provides an all-round test by putting downhill and slalom together. what is super-g? Super-G, or super giant slalom, combines the speed of downhill with the more frequent turns seen in giant slalom. The course is shorter than downhill, but longer than giant slalom. Unlike in downhill, there are no training runs for super-G - and skiers have just one run to impress.
