Combined
Alpine combined blends a speed run with a slalom run, adding the times together so the result rewards all-around skiers across both ends of the spectrum.
Overview
Alpine combined merges a speed discipline with a slalom run, testing skiers across both the technical and speed ends of the sport.
A racer's times from the two runs are added together, so the format rewards versatility rather than specialising in a single discipline.
What defines it
- Combines a speed run (downhill or super-G) with a slalom run.
- Times from both runs are added together to decide the result.
- Rewards all-around ability rather than single-discipline specialism.
