The slalom race is the shortest of the Alpine skiing events, and it has the most gates. Giant slalom is a longer version with fewer gates. Those are grouped as the so-called technical races, because they emphasize the skill of making turns around the gates. Supergiant slalom (super-G) is primarily a speed event, with many of the features of downhill skiing.
