	Alpine skiing
		Alpine skiing (or downhill skiing) is a recreational activity and sport involving sliding down snow-covered hills with long, thin skis attached to each foot.
		Alpine skiing evolved from cross-country skiing when ski lift infrastructure was developed at mountain resorts to tow skiiers back to the top of slopes, thus making it possible to repeatedly enjoy skiing down steep, long slopes that would be otherwise too tiring to climb up.
		Professional alpine skiers compete on the World Cup circuit in Slalom, Giant Slalom[?], and Downhill races held at various sites in Europe, the United States, and Canada.

	ISHA: History of the World Cup
		The World Cup was to be brought into being by a near-perfect conjunction of events and the support of a handful of important people.
		In skiing alone-including jumping and cross-country - there are half a dozen, all inspired by the name and, sometimes, by the spirit and the formula of the Alpine skiing World Cup which my colleagues and I created.
		Even in Portillo, Chile, where the Alpine World Cup was effectively born a few months later, I found myself on the edge of the downhill course at 10 am-listening to the soccer final between England and West-Germany at Wembley.

		Alpine skiing is also a very popular sport, although not as much as in the Alpine countries (Austria, Germany, Slovenia..) because alpine skiing is geographically limited by the low altitude hills or flat lands of most of Sweden and Finland.

		The alpine skiing World Cup is a circuit of alpine skiing competitions regulated by the FIS.
		Held at ski resorts across Europe and Scandanavia, south-east Asia, Australia and New Zealand, the continental US, and Canada, competitors compete to achieve the best time in four disciplines: Slalom, Giant Slalom, Super-G, and Downhill.
		Many consider the World Cup to be a more valuable title than the Olympics or the biannual World Championships, since it requires a competitor to ski at an extremely high level in several disciplines throughout the season (and not just in one race).

	SKI in Bulgaria
		MORITZ, Switzerland (AP) _ The alpine skiing World Cup has been left in the lurch with the sudden withdrawal of its official timekeeping sponsor Swatch, the International ski Federation said on Monday.
		The International Ski Federation (FIS) says it could have to pay out up to four million euros a season for time-keeping at World Cup Alpine skiing races following the sudden withdrawal of current sponsor Swatch.
		Under that deal, Swatch was due to organise timing and data services at all the World Cup races in return for on-screen television sponsorship rights - an arrangement which the Austrians argued would short-change individual race organisers.
