THE INTERNATIONAL SKI COMPETITION RULES (ICR)

904.3 Where there is no outside gate, both feet and ski tips must have passed
the turning pole of the turning gate on the same side, following the natural
race line of the Giant Slalom. If a competitor loses a ski, without
committing a fault, e.g. not by straddling a pole, then the tip of the
remaining ski and both feet must have passed the natural gate line. If the
racer has not correctly passed the imaginary line from turning pole to
turning pole and does not follow the natural race line, then he has to climb
back up and pass around the missed turning gate. Where there is an
outside gate (first and last gate, delayed gate) art. 661.4.1. is valid.
904.4 All rules and regulations dealing with the width of the course should be
considered, as if there is an imaginary outside gate.
905 The Start
905.1 In the first run according to the start numbers (art. 621.3 and 622).
905.2 Starting order for the second run see art. 621.11
906 Execution of the Giant Slalom
906.1 A Giant Slalom must always be decided by two runs (men and ladies).
The second run may be held on the same course, but the gates must be
reset. Whenever possible, both runs should be held on the same day.
906.2 Limitations in the Second Run
The Jury has the right to reduce the number of competitors for the second
run to half on the first run start list. The decision has to be made no later
than one hour before the start of the first run.
906.3 Video Control
Art. 806.3 is applied - if possible - also for Giant Slalom.
