Super combined or Combined alpine ski race 2010 olympics?

Mar-9-2010 Posted under Ski Alpine

Why does NBC keep calling the Combined race a Super Combined race? It was a downhill + slalom NOT Super G + slalom? Am I missing something?

A combined race is a run of downhill and 2 runs of slalom.
A super combined race is a run of downhill, and one run of slalom.
They recently changed it because combined gave a larger advantage to slalom skiers.

Can Olympic alpine ski racers drink water during the race? Why not use a "Camelback"?

Mar-6-2010 Posted under Ski Alpine

I’m watching he Olympics – Cross country skiers, bialthons, and he all look like hey are dying for water. why don’t they carry water in a Camel-hump type device?

In the longer events, I think they get drinks along the route like marathoners do. But for the sprints like today they travel as light as possible.

(oh, and that is Nordic skiing, Alpine is the downhill and slalom)

What determines the startlist or running order for a world cup alpine ski race?

Mar-3-2010 Posted under Ski Alpine

Is is the previous races standings? Overall standings? Does the 1st place overall go last or first or when?

As in most Olympic competitions of this sort, the times for the heats and/or qualification runs are used. For example, the person with the slowest time in the quarterfinals who makes it to the finals goes first. The person with the faster quarterfinal run goes last in the finals. (this is supposed to be the most advantageous posistion. Does that make sense?
