Alpine skiing at the Winter Olympics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alpine skiing

Alpine skiing has been contested at every Winter Olympics since the 1936 Winter Games in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. From 19481980, the Winter Olympics acted as the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in Olympic years (a separate competition was also held in every other even-numbered year). During those years, extra World Championships medals were awarded in the combined using the results of the slalom and downhill, since the combined did not become an official Winter Olympics event until 1988. Since 1985, the World Championships have been scheduled in every odd year, independent of the Winter Olympics.
