(Alpine) Skiing / World Championships

Esquí Alpino / Campeonatos del Mundo

MEN / HOMBRES

The first nine editions of the World Championships were held annually between 1931 and 1939, but after World War II it changed to be an every-four-years event, although from 1948 to 1980 the Olympic Games events also held the status of World Championships (not considered here). Nowadays, it is every two years. Prior to 1996 combined competitions were decided on the basis of points rather than the aggregate of the times set in the 2 disciplines. The 1995 edition was postponed to 1996 due to lack of snow. These are the sites since 1950:

Las nueve primeras ediciones de los Campeonatos del Mundo de Esquí se celebraron anualmente entre 1931 y 1939, pero tras la II Guerra Mundial pasaron a ser cuatrienales, aunque entre 1948 y 1980 las pruebas de los Juegos Olímpicos tenían también consideración de Campeonatos del Mundo (no recogidos en esta página). Actualmente se disputa cada dos años. Hasta 1996, la combinada se basaba en puntos, en lugar de la suma de los tiempos de las dos disciplinas. La edición de 1995 se aplazó hasta el año siguiente debido a la falta de nieve. Éstas son las sedes desde 1950:

Team Competition / Competición por Equipos (TM)

For the first time, a "team" event is held in the championships' 74-year history. In the team competition participating nations will enter six athletes (three men and three women) in the super-G and slalom legs of the competition. Each discipline will be run in a one-shot only format, athletes split into heats and allowed a solitary run on the respective hills. Points are awarded on the athletes' rankings within their heats. At the end of all heats in both disciplines, the points are tallied and the country with the top tally wins the gold. This event is not included in the medal tables.

En 2005 se disputó por primera vez una competición por equipos en los campeonatos del mundo. Por cada equipo participan seis atletas (tres hombres y tres mujeres) en slalom y supergigante, con una sola manga por esquiador. La clasificación se establece por puntos. Esta prueba no está incluida en los medalleros de esta página.
