Ski racing is a competitive winter sport where athletes navigate a course on snow-covered slopes using skis. Races are typically held in various formats, including slalom, giant slalom, super-G, and downhill, each varying in speed and technical difficulty. Competitors aim to complete the course in the shortest time possible while maneuvering around a series of gates. Athletes in ski racing often train rigorously to improve their speed, technique, and agility. They wear specialized equipment, including ski boots, bindings, and helmets, to enhance performance and ensure safety. Ski racing is governed by organizations like the International Ski Federation (FIS), which sets the rules and organizes events worldwide.
