Super G and downhill skiing are both fast-paced alpine skiing disciplines, but they differ in course difficulty and length. Super G courses have fewer turns and are shorter than downhill courses, making them faster and more technical. Downhill skiing involves longer courses with more turns, requiring skiers to maintain high speeds while navigating challenging terrain.
