What Events Are Available For Betting On Alpine Skiing?
The 10 alpine skiing events at the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympic Games are broken up between three main categories: speed, technical, and combined. The speed category features skiers flying at high speeds in the downhill and super-g events. A key thing to remember for Olympic betting odds is that the winner in these speed events is determined by the fastest time, while technical events focus on times across multiple runs.
The slalom race is the shortest alpine skiing event, featuring a 50-60 second sprint with the most turns of any event. There also is the giant slalom races, which features wider curves than slalom and is split between two runs on the same slope, but different tracks.
The combined alpine skiing events see two athletes from the same country racing in one discipline each, like the downhill and slalom. The combined times from these races determines the winner, making for one of the most exciting ways for betting on alpine skiing this winter.
In 2026, the women's races will be held in Cortina d'Ampezzo, on the Tofane Alpine Skiing Centre, and the men's races in Bormio, at the Stelvio Ski Centre. Below is a complete list of every alpine skiing event at Milano Cortina.

What Are The Rules For Olympic Alpine Skiing?
Olympic Super G Rules
The Super G, also known as the Super Giant Slalom, involves skiers racing down a slope while making long turns around poles. To distinguish this race from the Giant Slalom race, the slope is steeper and the poles are set further apart from each other, at a minimum of at least 25 meters. The men have 35 poles installed, while the women only have 30. Any Olympic Super G skier who misses one of the posts will have a time penalty added to the total duration of their run. As with Downhill skiing, Olympic Super G competitors get only a single opportunity to post their best time.
Olympic Slalom Rules
As a skill discipline, the Olympic Slalom rules are also pretty easily understood once broken down. Competitors must race between poles, also known as gates, which are set at distances as small as 75 cm apart to as large as 15 meters apart. There is any number of gates in a given race. Generally, they range between 45-60 gates for women and 55-75 gates for men. Unlike the speed events, Olympic Slalom racers actually get run the course twice. The top 30 competitors from the first run move on to the second run to determine the outright winners. (Those returning 30 skiers must race in reverse time order, meaning the competitor with the 30th highest score from the first run is now the 1st skier in the second run.)
Olympic Giant Slalom Rules
The Giant Slalom is similar to the standard variety, as it’s really just the slalom on a larger scale. There are thirty or more gates installed in any given race, and they are set more widely apart to compensate for the longer track. The scoring setup is identical to the smaller Slalom event, and the Olympic Giant Slalom rules similarly allow each athlete two total runs.
Alpine Combined Event Rules
The Combined event has both a downhill race and a slalom race, each of which is timed. Per Alpine Combined Event rules, the Downhill race is run first, followed by the slalom portion. In the Combined, the slalom is only run once. The times of each portion of the race are combined, and winners are determined by the best combined run time.
Can American Players Legally Bet On 2026 Olympic Alpine Skiing Odds?
