Ski races
Ski races are competitive events where skiers descend a set course on snow, aiming for the fastest time. There are different types, like slalom, giant slalom, super-G, and downhill, each with varying course complexity and speed. Athletes navigate gates—poles marking the route—requiring precision and control. The skier with the quickest time from start to finish wins. Races are judged on speed, technique, and adherence to course. They take place on mountain slopes, often with challenging terrain, requiring skill, agility, and strategic planning.
