How it works
- 01
A team is two athletes of the same gender from the same nation.
- 02
Two runs: a speed run (downhill or super-G), then a slalom run. Each athlete skis only one.
- 03
The result is the sum of the two times.
- 04
The top 30 teams after the speed run start the slalom in reverse order.
- 05
Forced solidarity: if the first skier fails to finish or is disqualified, the teammate does not start.

Why it is worth watching
Modern skiing is specialised: few athletes are still at the top in both speed and slalom. The team combined pairs the two. For spectators it is a race full of suspense: the morning ranking turns over during the afternoon slalom.
A little history
The combined is the oldest Olympic format: in 1936 it was the only alpine event at the Games. For decades the combined added up a downhill and a slalom skied by the same person. At the 2025 Worlds in Saalbach it was replaced by the team combined, which then joined the Olympic programme in 2026.
Great moments
- 2025
Saalbach. The first world title in the discipline's history goes to Americans Breezy Johnson and Mikaela Shiffrin. For the men, a Swiss sweep, with Franjo von Allmen and Loïc Meillard taking gold.
- 2026
Bormio. The first Olympic team combined: gold for Franjo von Allmen and Tanguy Nef; two teams tie exactly for silver, so no bronze.
In 1987 in Crans-Montana
In 1987 it was the individual alpine combined, the ancestor of the discipline: a downhill and a slalom skied by the same person.

What to watch for
- 01
In the morning (10:00), the speed run: note the gaps, they set up the race.

In the afternoon (13:30), the slalom in reverse order: the leading teams start last. Watch the total-time column; the ranking changes with every finish.
- 03
The pairs often bring together two athletes who never race side by side the rest of the winter.
- 04
2006 area open on 9 February (women), Houlès area on 10 February (men).
