The Oslo Olympic Winter Games were held from 14 to 25 February 1952. In Alpine skiing, the combined event was replaced by the Giant Slalom. The top three in each Alpine Skiing event received World Championship medals in addition to the Olympic medals. Alpine skiing is the oldest Olympic sport for which the Men’s and Women’s programs have always been precisely the same.

The St. Moritz Olympic Winter Games were held from 30 January to 8 February 1948. The expansion to six Olympic alpine competitions put Alpine Skiing in the spotlight (the program was expanded to include Downhill and Slalom for Men and Women).

The Garmisch-Partenkirchen Winter Games were held from February 6 to 16, 1936. Alpine skiing made its Olympic debut at the IV Olympic Winter Games, featuring a combined format that included Downhill and Slalom events for both Men and Women.

Mikaela Shiffrin's record of 100 wins makes her, statistically, the most successful skier in Alpine Ski World Cup history.
