In super-G competitions, skiers must navigate between gates at high speed, and the gates are further apart than in slalom and giant slalom competitions. As in the downhill, there is only one run of the super-G. The men's competition took place on Saturday, 18 February, with the defending Olympic champion Kjetil André Aamodt expected to start.
