The first-ever downhill skiing event, the British National Ski Championship, took place in 1921, with Sir Arnold Lunn originally designing the rules of the game.
Known as the fastest ice race, downhill skiing focuses on speed. Participating in this game requires maximum speed in sliding down the hill. There is no required number of players to join. The individual aim is to get to the finish line much faster than the rest of the skiers.
To participate, players must wear proper equipment. This includes skis for convenient carve turning, bindings for minimizing spiral fractures, plastic boots for enhanced control over ski edges, and helmets for head protection.
The icy mountains are usually picked as the grounds to run this game. The icy regions provide for the areas where gliders can easily turn, slide over, glide and reach the bottom. The size of the field and the length of the competition may be decided by the committee organizing the event.
