Alpine skiing starts by one person in each event, and the starting order is determined by drawing lots, but some events need to ski twice, and the order of the second starting is determined by the result of the first competition. The departure interval is generally 60 seconds, and only the rotating events adopt unequal departure.
When starting, athletes must wear sportswear with official seal (that is, clothes approved by the referee), starting number cloth, helmet, snowboard and ski pole, and must use detachable fixers.
The origin of alpine skiing
Alpine skiing has a history of at least 150 years in the Alps of Europe. Alpine skiing evolved from cross-country skiing. In order to adapt to the larger slope, alpine skiing technology appeared. Players find that alpine skiing needs wider skis, and the steering techniques and poles are different to adapt to different terrain in the mountains.
At the beginning of the 20th century, due to the development of transportation technology, athletes did not have to carry heavy equipment to the top of the mountain before the competition began, and alpine skiing quickly became popular.
Alpine skiing first appeared in the Winter Olympics in1936 Gamisch-Partenkirchen Winter Olympics. 1948, downhill and slalom started to set up separate events. Biathlon did not enter the Olympic Games until 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics, while the giant slalom and super giant slalom entered the Winter Olympics in 1952 and 1988.
