[edit] Nations team event
February 18, 10:00/13:00
This competition was part of the World Championships for the second time. Six athletes from each country, including at least two men and two women, compete in a total of four super G and four slalom runs. Each country sends one athlete into each run, alternating between men and women. The placings of all eight competitions are added, and the country with the lowest number wins. If an athlete doesn't finish the run, gets disqualified or scores a time worse than 108% of the winning time, an extra penalty is incurred. If an athlete doesn't start, an even greater penalty is incurred.
