Excerpt: Alpine skiing is an Olympic sport that is contested at the Winter Olympic Games. The first Winter Olympics, held in 1924, included nordic skiing, but the first alpine skiing events were not held until the 1936 Winter Olympics in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. A combined event was held for both men and women in 1936. The International Ski Federation (FIS) decided that ski instructors could not compete in 1936 because they were professionals, and the Olympics were meant for amateur athletes. Because of this, Austrian and Swiss skiers boycotted the events, although some Austrians decided to compete for Germany. The next Olympic Games, held in 1948 (the 1940 and 1944 Olympics were not held due to World War II), saw two new events added: downhill and slalom. Combined events were also held in 1948, but were dropped after that and not contested again until 1988. At t...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=3546421 ... Read more

Excerpt: The 44th World Cup season began on October 24, 2009, in Sölden, Austria, and concluded on March 14, 2010, at the World Cup finals in Garmisch, Germany. No World Cup events were scheduled in February because of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada; the Olympic alpine events were scheduled for February 1327 at Whistler Mountain. The overall titles were won by Carlo Janka of Switzerland and Lindsey Vonn of the U.S., her third consecutive. FIS standards require that three events be completed in a discipline for a discipline trophy to be awarded. During this season, there were only three combined races (all super-combined) scheduled for the women. Because the third race was cancelled on March 5, FIS had to make a decision about whether an official trophy would be awarded for the discipline. Ultimately, FIS decided to award the discipline trophy to the leader after two events, Lindsey Vonn, giving her four crystal globes for the year (overall, downhill, Super G and combined).
