    Athletes are allowed to have shadow skiers during their timed runs.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Athletes are not allowed to have shadow skiers during their timed runs. This would provide an unfair advantage as the shadow skier could potentially block wind or create a better line for the athlete. Additionally, having a shadow skier could interfere with the accuracy of the timing system. Therefore, the statement is false.

    • 2

    • 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 1
    Explanation
    The downhill event consists of only one timed run. This means that the participants have only one opportunity to complete the course and record their time. Unlike other events that may have multiple runs or rounds, the downhill event is a single run where the fastest time determines the winner.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    The glide event consists of a 10 to 15 meter run with three gates.

    • True

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. The combined time of two timed runs
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the combined time of two timed runs. This means that the awards for the slalom and giant slalom events are determined by adding together the times from two separate runs. This method allows for a more accurate assessment of the skier's overall performance, taking into account any variations or mistakes that may have occurred in each individual run.
