What's the difference between slalom and grand slalom?

What is the difference between slalom and giant slalom?

Usually that technique is dependent on tension.Feb 13, 2022

How does the slalom work?

Slalom (SL)

As in the giant slalom, each skier makes two runs down two different courses on the same slope. The competitors are required to pass between all the gates, alternate red/blue pairs of poles. Both runs take place on the same day. The times are added together, and the fastest total time determines the winner.

In a sanctioned slalom waterskiing competition, the skier must make a pass through a course of buoys that features three turn buoys to each side, for a total of six turns. The skier zigzags back and forth between these six turn buoys, and the number of successfully cleared buoys for the run makes up part of the skier's score.

How long is a slalom rope?

Each athlete begins with a 23-meter (75-foot) slalom rope at the minimum boat speed for his age/gender division. Once an athlete has run enough passes to reach maximum boat speed for his division, the rope is shortened in pre-measured lengths until he misses a buoy or falls.".

The First Number

  • In our sample slalom score, the number "5" in "5 @ 32 off" indicates that the skier successfully cleared 5 out of 6 buoys (the best possible number would be 6).

The Second Number

  • The second number indicates how much of the towrope has been deducted for the skiing run. A standard full rope is 75 feet long, commonly known aslong-line.Shortening the rope makes skiing around the buoys more difficult, and hence leads to a higher score. When the rope is shortened, the amount by which is shortened is referred to as "off." So in our sample designation, "32 off" in…

How The Tow Rope Is Shortened

  • Tournament ropes have incremented loops to attach the rope to the boat at fixed settings. Each loop is a different color. The first loop is 15 feet from the rope's original full-length connection point to the boat. This is considered "15 off," which gives a rope length of 60 feet (75 - 15 = 60). The next increments are 22, 28, 32, 35, 38, 39.5, and 41 off. In our example of 5 @ 32 off, the rop…

At maximum speed is reached, the rope's length is shortened one increment per completed pass. The winner is the skier who can ski around the most buoys at th…
