Talk:Giant slalom

message: Still feeling some of the Sochi Olympic Games afterglow, I've uploaded a few "new" GS images to Commons, captured in 2011 in Norway. I integrated a couple into the article, but present more here for your review, should you be interested.

Last one is actually post-slalom, not GS... Right now I've made the second image the lede image for our article here, and the third image is also now in the article. Cheers. JDanek007Talk 21:44, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

message: Dear Sir, I would like to give some notes - I would like to express that the most I know by myself but I would like to cit. German Wikiepdia too.
GS (or G.S.) is often because the name is very long (therefore downhills ar DH, Slaloms SL and Combined C; Super-G remains Super-G; maybe, Parallel Slaloms are P).
Parallel GS-Races are most in the snowboard sports, but since December 2015, there is - as a Alpine World Cup race - held a Parallel GS in Alta Badia after the "Original GS".
New regulations do, in general, forbid to go return, if a racer missis a gate (ore make another mistake).
You write about two legs since 1966 World Championships, but also in the World Cup there are two legs since starting World Cup Races in January 1967 (regarding male races). Two legs in female races are since the season 1977/78. - I would like to point out that one of the first male giant slalom (carried out in two legs) was on two days (January 28th/29th, 1966) in Megève, won by Jean-Claude Killy and two other French racers on the podium (it was called as an experiment). In the first years those Giant Slaloms were further carried out in two days, and newspapers did write of a "First run" and a "Second Run" (like it would be two different races). There were exceptions: On March 19th, 1967, men's GS at Vail was only carried out in one leg - on the other hand there were 3 women GS carried out before 1977/78: January 27th/28th, 1967 (Saint-Gervais-les-Bains), January 7th, 1972 ( Maribor) and anew at St. Gervais on January 22nd, 1972.
:::Just at that moment I could see that on January 6th, 1967, at Berchtesgaden (there was held the first World-Cup-GS on that day) was carried out only in one leg.  --213.225.13.201 (talk) 08:48, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  GS and so on 

message: It is redirected to giant slalom BUT THERE IS NOT a single word abut that new race format. And it's not the same as parallel slalom. Difference between the two should also be covered. 95.178.215.9 (talk) 10:21, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
