What is it?
This article doesn't have an actual explanation of how Super G is different from slalom or giant slalom.
Do the Americans really need their own section for Super-G? I think it should be removed - Jason
neutral point of view
I think that noting only American accomplishments in Super-G violates the principle of maintaining a neutral point of view. Shouldn't that section be removed?
what are the super g rules?
What happens if you crash through a gate? What is in and out of bounds on the course? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.36.200.118 (talk) 04:05, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
super Z?
What's the Z in the Definition section? Is that a typo, because it is not explained, but repeatedly used. I don't know enough to edit those "Z"s into "G"s. Also in that section, "with lower speeds approaching those achieved in Uphill." Uphill? Downhill, right? Finally, "way more turns" -- who wrote this, a 12-year-old? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.237.117.245 (talk) 04:10, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
Article name
I think we should drop the "skiing" part of the article name (and the goes for the other articles too, like the "Slalom skiing"). The article name should be just "Super-G". And when referenced, it's not a proper name, and should be written "super-G" in the middle of sentences. LarRan (talk) 20:39, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Requested move
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: moved. Consensus seems clear that the proposed title (or a variation thereof) is the common name. Whether it should be hyphenated can be discussed in a future RM if necessary. Jenks24 (talk) 14:20, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
Super giant slalom skiing → Super-G – Common name, even on the official FIS page (Google has 10 hits for "super giant slalom" on fis-ski.com), as well as in other Wikipedia articles. The idea of a move was brought up by someone in 2010 (without anyone opposing), and as a reader I have previously considered the current title rather odd.
The only issue I can see is the hyphen. Based on the use of "Super-G" not "Super G" in the first sentence of the article I chose the hyphenated as the suggested target. I also believe that this is the official version, but use is varied, even within Wikipedia articles and FIS pages. Relisted.

- The overabbreviated non-desciptive form "Super-G" may be well known among skiers, but not among the majority who do not ski. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:47, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
- Google implies it is the common name overall. "Super giant slalom skiing" is a rather clunky title which is not used in the sport, except when discussing the etymology of Super-G. (Excluding Wikipedia that is the only context I have seen it used in.) Super giant slalom skiing should become a redirect as the rarer name. 88.88.165.222 (talk) 11:46, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
- Comment. "On the World Cup circuit, men's and women's teams from the major alpine racing countries compete in four events: downhill, Super G, giant slalom and slalom." Apteva (talk) 16:00, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
- Question. Where are you quoting from? I'm neutral on the hyphen issue as WP:COMMONNAME means it doesn't really matter what is official. I see the hyphen is used in this document, to give an example, but I am aware that the use is inconsistent. 88.88.165.222 (talk) 22:04, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
- That was from Ski Magazine.[1] "Giant slalom was added to the lineup in 1950 and Super G in 1983." Apteva (talk) 02:47, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
