Message: [QUOTE="chj001, post: 2986542, member: 8206"] Somebody is not paying attention. She's got 52 World Cup wins following her 9th win this season last Saturday. Could even be 53 by about 3 EST today. "Downhill skiing" is a recreational term that differentiates it from cross-country skiing or telemark skiing. The "Downhill" is one of the 4 main disciplines of Alpine World Cup Skiing along with Super G, Giant Slalom and Slalom. Other disciplines that aren't skied as often are Combined (which for the women combines separate runs of Downhill and Slalom), Parallel Slalom (where skiers race head-to-head next to each other) and the City Event, which seems to be just a Parallel Slalom contested within a major city. The last was contested on New Year's Day in Oslo on the outrun of the famous Holmenkollen ski jump. [/QUOTE]
