GS (Giant Slalom)

Giant Slalom (GS) is a ski racing discipline that blends speed and technical skill. It involves skiing downhill through a series of gates arranged in pairs, which are spaced wider apart than in slalom but closer than in super-G or downhill. Skiers must carefully carve tight turns while maintaining high speed, navigating a course that tests both precision and agility. The goal is to complete the course in the fastest time while accurately passing through all gates. GS emphasizes technical mastery and control, making it a demanding and exciting event in alpine skiing competitions.
