		The Olympics organization is headed by a president, elected by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) members for an initial period of eight years.
		Alpine skiing, for men and women, has been part of the Olympic programme since 1948: the events are the downhill, the slalom, the giant slalom (since 1952), the super giant slalom or super-G (since 1988), and the combined event (downhill and slalom), which has been staged intermittently since 1936.
		The skeleton event was first run in 1928, then again in 1948 after a gap, but was then abandoned as too dangerous a sport until its revival at the 2002 Games, when women took part in the sport for the first time also.
