The parallel giant slalom(PGS) event includes two evenly spaced courses (10–15 meters apart) with vertical distances of 20–27 meters between turning gates, allowing speeds up to 70 km/h.
Once qualifications are complete, racers are placed in a head to head knockout format, starting with 16 athletes and moving to a final race for 1st and 2nd.
It uses a much longer course than parallel slalom with gates set further apart (spaced 20–27 meters apart), resulting in even higher speeds, while racing against an opponent on a similar course place parallel to the other course.
The giant slalom is a historic Olympic snowboarding competition that has been held since the Nagano Olympics.
Since the last PyeongChang2018, it has become a parallel event where you can enjoy more exciting races.
