Slalom

Slalom is a competitive event typically associated with skiing, where participants navigate between a series of markers or gates set up on a downhill course. The objective is to complete the course in the shortest possible time while maintaining control and balance. The course usually alternates between left and right turns, requiring skill, precision, and agility from the skier. Slalom events can also refer to similar courses in other sports, such as canoeing or biking, where individuals must maneuver through a series of obstacles or turns. The term emphasizes the technique of weaving and swift changes of direction to achieve the best performance.
