Giant Slalom is a type of alpine ski racing that features a series of gates set on a downhill course. Skiers navigate between these gates, which are spaced farther apart than in other slalom events, allowing for higher speeds and longer turns. The goal is to complete the course in the shortest time possible while maintaining control. Competitors typically make two runs on the same course, with the combined times determining the winner. Giant Slalom is one of the key events in major competitions, including the Winter Olympics and the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup.
