Giant Slalom is an exhilarating alpine skiing race that emphasizes speed and control. Competitors race down a mountain course, navigating around widely spaced gates. Unlike regular Slalom with tighter turns, Giant Slalom offers larger turns and greater speed. This event is popular in competitive skiing and is a staple of the Winter Olympics. Skillful skiers must master quick edge changes, balance, and downhill control to achieve the fastest time without missing any gates, which adds to the thrill of the race.
