Super-G, short for Super Giant Slalom, is a skiing discipline that combines elements of both downhill and giant slalom racing. It features a course that is set with fewer turns than giant slalom and is typically faster than traditional slalom events. The races are held on a longer course, and participants navigate through a series of gates that are spaced further apart than in other slalom formats, allowing for higher speeds. Skiers have only one run to complete the course, and the event is part of alpine skiing competitions, including the Winter Olympics and the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup. Super-G is known for demanding technical skill, speed, and the ability to make quick decisions on the course.
