Alpine Skiing
Whoosh! A skier flies down a steep, snowy
course
. Alpine skiing takes place on tall
mountains. It takes balance, strength,
and speed. The speediest alpine event is
downhill skiing. It happens on the longest
course. Skiers go into the
tuck position
.
They pick up speed as they go. They must
take wide turns without losing balance.
The fastest time wins gold.
