Slalom refers to a sport in which participants attempt to complete a course, in the fastest time, while passing through marked channels known as gates. Failing to pass through a gate normally incurs a time penalty. The word slalom originates from the Norwegian word slalåm: "sla," meaning steep hillside, and "låm," meaning track after skis.\n\nExamples of this include slalom skiing; slalom canoeing; slalom waterskiing; slalom skating; snowboard parallel giant slalom.

It's a ski style where the skis are like downhill skis, but the heel is detached like a cross country ski. \nThe technique is to go downhill but in a "telemark" position which is bending both knees and one foot is in front of the other... a bit like when those "flying" skiers land...\nSo the do slalom but instead of keeping both legs together they always use this position....\nNot to try in a very steep hill....

By "downhill" I assume you mean "alpine" and are not joining the World Cup circuit. Skis are sized by several factors. Size of the individual is definitely important, but skill level is as well. The type and conditions of the terrain also play a role but to a lesser extent.I recommend a good ski shop in a resort area. Resort ski shops tend to be more hands on and knowledgable and less full of BS trying to sell you something.

Biathlon is made up of 2 parts, the skiing and the shooting.\nYou shoot at targets and try to get them to fall back. A split bullet is one that hits half on and half off the target, sometimes making it fall, sometimes not. They can really make or break the time bonus in a Biathlon.\nI wish people who answer can give points to people who ask good questions.

Gone skiing.  In the present tense, it would be Let's go skiing.  To ski is a verb, not a noun.

Two terms for the same thing. The downhill ski becomes the inside ski as soon as you start the next turn making your other ski the outside ski which as the turn completes becomes your downhill ski.\n\nUse to hear downhill ski all the time but now we speak in terms of inside/outside more.\n\nPSIA Master Teacher

Definitely an art form.  You could try to call it a sport, but you'd have to use a loose definition of the word.  If you have judges, it's at least as much of a sport as figure skating.  (No disrespect for the physical requirements to be a dancer or skater, we are just talking about what you call it!)  \n\nI have trouble calling anything that is judged subjectively a sport, especially if the code of points used to score it may cause two competent judges to score it differently.  You'd know better than I if dancing falls into that category or not.

Le sport est un ensemble d'exercices physiques sous forme de jeux individuels ou collectifs pouvant donner lieu à des compétitions. Le terme de sport a pour racine le mot de vieux français desport qui signifie « loisir ». \n\nSur Wikipedia, la pétanque est classée dans les "Sports de cible" comme le bowling ou le golf...

Why the last? If others are interested in skiing and football then others will enter both. I know other football players that were skiers but none I know of with Olympic creds
