Alpine skiing is known as the "pearl in the crown of the Winter Olympics".
Among them, "Alpine Skiing Giant Slalom", is one of the alpine skiing competitions, also known as slalom skiing or slalom obstacle courses.
The race takes place on snow-covered slopes. The slope of the line is 20 to 27 degrees, some very short slopes can be less than 20 degrees and more than 30 degrees high, the length of men is 600 to 700 meters, women are 400 to 500 meters, and the width is at least 40 meters. The starting and finishing points are 180 to 220 meters for men and 140 to 180 meters for women.
Various forms of flag gates are set up on the line to form obstacles. Athletes make continuous turns along the hilltops and slide through the Flag Gate obstacles. The flag gate is composed of two rotary poles and two door flags with a specification of 24 cm × 22 cm, the flag gate is 4 to 6 meters wide, and the door flag has two colors: red and blue. The flag gate setting should include an open flag gate (perpendicular to the direction of the line), a closed flag gate (parallel to the direction of the line), and a flag gate group composed of 3 to 4 flag gates, 55 to 75 for men and 45 to 65 for women. The distance between the two consecutive flag gates is 0.75 meters shortest and 15 meters longest. Knocking down the flagpole while glideming is not a foul, and slipping through the door or riding a pole over the door is a foul, regardless of the score.
Before the competition, athletes can view the line from the bottom up, but they must not simulate sliding from top to bottom. Athletes must glide once on each of the two different routes during the race, and the sum of the two glide times is used to determine the ranking, and the one with less time is ranked first.
