	Super Giant Slalom skiing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is usually referred to as "Super G" and is considered a "speed" discipline along with Downhill (the "technical" disciplines are Giant Slalom and Slalom).
		It involves skiing between widely spaced gates as in Giant Slalom, but with fewer turns over a longer course at higher speeds approaching those achieved in Downhill.
		As in Giant Slalom and Slalom, they are allowed only a one hour visual inspection of the course on the morning of the race.

	Giant Slalom skiing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		GS gates themselves also differ from Slalom gates; in the Giant Slalom, gates are spaced in pairs with each pair consisting of two poles connected by a single fabric panel, whereas in the Slalom gates are single poles without panels.
		As a result, a Slalom racer is likely to use a cross-blocking method to push gates out of the way in order to keep his center of gravity closer to the fall line during his run.
		Giant Slalom skis are longer and stiffer than Slalom skis, but not as long as Super-G and Downhill skis.

		Giant Slalom poles are usually bent to fit around a racer's body during a tuck and are not usually planted into the snow as vigorously or often as a Slalom racer's poles.

		For slalom the vertical offset between gates is around 9m and the horizontal offset around 2m, although these figures have changed in recent times because of significant technical developments in ski equipment which have revolutionized the sport.
		The rules for the modern slalom were developed by Sir Arnold Lunn in 1922 for the British National Ski Championships, tried by the FIS in 1928, and adopted for the 1936 Winter Olympics.
		The 2003-2004 season saw the FIS increase the minimum length of Slalom skis in an attempt to increase safety; for men from 155cm to 165cm, and for women from 150cm to 155cm.

	Super Giant Slalom skiing - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		It is usually referred to as "Super G." Super G is considered a "speed" discipline like Downhill as opposed to "technical" disciplines like Giant Slalom and Slalom.
		It involves skiing between widely spaced gates as in Giant Slalom, but with fewer turns and over a much longer course with longer times between gates.
		The discipline is relatively new and it was created in an effort to offset specialization in alpine skiing World Cup events caused by widely different technique and physical demands of technical and speed disciplines.

		Alpine skiing is one such sport, and it may be for this reason that skiers so often ignore the specificity principle, especially in their off-snow training.
		However, alpine skiing is extremely deceptive, and biomechanical analysis has shown that it is not actually an explosive sport at all, although, confusingly, this does not mean it is not an anaerobic sport.
		Thus, given that skiing consists of a series of turns controlled by either very slow or isometric muscle contractions over a relatively long period of time (at least for an anaerobic exercise), it is not surprising that most skiers have more than 50 per cent slow-twitch fibres.

	KIAT.NET - Olympic Winter Games Alpine Skiing
		From Norway, skiing spread throughout Scandinavia and Russia as a mode of winter transportation and eventually as a sport similar to cross-country skiing.
		The combined downhill and the combined slalom are contested independently of the regular downhill and slalom events, and the combined courses are shorter than the regular versions.
		Also, the combined slalom is held on the lower part of the combined downhill slope, which has not always been the case.

		The "gates" are a greater distance to each other than in Slalom but not as great as Super-G or Downhill.
		In contrast, the fall line of a Giant Slalom run has much wider turns and thus is always less incumbered by gates.
		In an attempt to increase safety, the 2003-2004 season saw the FIS increase the minimum turning radius for Giant Slalom skis to 45m (from 40m), and impose minimum ski lengths for the first time; 185cm for men, 180cm for women.

		Skiing is known to be a basic means of transport in Northern Europe for 3000 to 4000 years.
		Whereas Giant Slalom (GS) requires the most technical performance, in contrast to downhill, the gates are closer together, but not directly in the fall line demanding carved turns through the whole race.
		Slalom skiers are usually leaner than skiers of the other events, whereas downhill competitors are the heaviest (Haymes an Dickinson 1980).

		In the GS, turns are much shorter (and thus much quicker) and so racers ski a narrower, more direct fall line.

		Alpine skiing evolved from cross-country skiing when ski lift infrastructure was developed at mountain resorts to tow skiers 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.
		Various alpine skiing competitions have developed in the history of skiing, and elite competitive skiers participate in the annual World Cup series, as well as the Winter Olympic Games.
		Slalom, GS, Super-G, and Downhill are the 4 racing disciplines, with Downhill being the fastest event and Slalom being the most technical.

		Hermann Maier of Austria brought his tally of Olympic gold medals to two after winning the giant slalom a clear eight-tenths of a second ahead of his teammate, Stefan Eberharter.
		In winning double gold in super G and giant slalom Maier emulated the feat of Germany's Markus Wasmeier in 1994 at the Lillehammer Olympics, and Austria has now one three of the four men's alpine skiing events at Nagano.
		After the first run of the giant slalom, it seemed as though Austria would sweep the medals, but Austria's Christian Mayer (no relation to Hermann) suffered from nerves in the second run as he had done in Lillehammer and dropped from second to 9th.
