The sport of Alpine skiing was created in the late 19th century when Norwegian legend Sondre Norheim made skis popular. The sport made its Olympic debut at the Olympic Winter Games Garmisch-Partenkirchen 1936 with the combined (downhill + slalom) event for both men and women. In 1948, downhill and slalom races were added as separate events. The giant slalom was introduced at Oslo 1952 and the super-G at Calgary 1988.
