Medalists

Alpine skiing has been contested at everyWinter Olympics since1936, when acombined event was held inGarmisch-Partenkirchen,Germany.

From1948 to1980, the Winter Olympics also served as theWorld Championships in Olympic years, with separate competitions held in even-numbered non-Olympic years. During this period, the Olympic medalists received an additionalmedal of the samemetal from theInternational Ski Federation (FIS).

Thegiant slalom was introduced at the1950 World Championships and at the Olympics in1952; both programs dropped the combined event, but it returned in1954 at the World Championships as a "paper" race, using the results of theslalom, giant slalom, anddownhill. At the Olympics from1956 through 1980, World Championship medals were awarded by the FIS in thecombined event. It returned as a stand-alone event (one run of downhill, two runs of slalom) at the Olympics in1988, which also debuted the one-runsuper-G. The combined event was run on an FIS points system at the Olympics through1992, then was changed to the total time of the three runs. The super combined debuted in2010, which reduced the slalom portion to one run and the event to one day.

Since1985, the World Championships have been scheduled every odd-numbered year, independent of the Winter Olympics. At the World Championships, the combined returned as a stand-alone event in1982 and the super-G debuted in1987. The combined event went from points to a total time in1996 (postponed from 1995), and changed to super combined in2007.

The event is traditionally dominated byAlpine countries; as of 2022^[update],Austria has a commanding lead in total medals with 128 and in gold medals with 40.
