Alpine skiing at the 2002 Winter Olympics

The 2002 Winter Olympic Games Alpine skiing results from Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.A. The downhill, Super G, and combined events were held at Snowbasin, the giant slalom at Park City, and the slalom at Deer Valley. The ten events took place February 10-23, 2002.

Medal table

10 years after his first Olympic title, Aamodt wins his second Super-G gold and his second gold of the Games.

Combined

The event was held on February 13, 2002 at Snowbasin Ski Area.

Pre-race favorite Bode Miller falls off the course in the second run, and many of the other top competitors struggle with an extremely challenging course. Britain's Alain Baxter originally takes the bronze, but loses it after testing positive for traces of methamphetamine. This apparently occurred because Baxter had used an American Vicks inhaler, which had a slightly different chemical content from the legal British Vicks inhaler.
