What year did alpine skiing make is Olympic debut?

Question

Alpine skiing is dangerous but interesting sport. Can someone tell me the year when it made its debut for Olympics?

Answer 1

Alpine skiing has been contested at every Winter Olympics since [[1 mpics|1906]], when a combined event was held in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. From 1948–80, the Winter Olympics also served as the World Championships  in Olympic years (with separate competitions held in even-numbered non-Olympic years). During 1956-80, extra World Championships medals were awarded in the combined using the results of the slalom and downhill, since the combined event was absent from the Winter Olympics from 1952-84, returning in 1988. Since 1985, the World Championships have been scheduled every odd-numbered year, independent of the Winter Olympics.
