Giant slalom (GS) skiing is a technical event in alpine racing, alongside slalom. Compared to high-speed Super-G and downhill, GS courses require more turns and maneuvers at moderate speeds. Racers navigate a longer course with wider gate spacing than slalom, demanding precise technique and good speed control. Competitions usually involve two timed runs, with the fastest combined time winning. GS showcases skiers' technical abilities and agility on a course that blends speed and precision.
