Alpine skiing at the 2018 Winter Olympics – Women's slalom


The women's slalom competition of the PyeongChang 2018 Olympics was held on 16 February 2018 at the Yongpyong Alpine Centre at the Alpensia Sports Park in PyeongChang. The competition was originally set to be held on 14 February 2018, but high winds forced officials to reschedule it for 16 February.
In the victory ceremony, the medals were presented by Stefan Holm, member of the International Olympic Committee, accompanied by Mats Årjes, FIS Council member.

Qualification

A total of up to 320 alpine skiers qualified across all eleven events. Athletes qualified for this event by having met the A qualification standard, which meant having 140 or less FIS Points and being ranked in the top 500 in the Olympic FIS points list or meeting the B standard, which meant 140 or less FIS points. Countries not meeting the A standard were allowed to enter a maximum of one B standard athlete per gender. The Points list takes into average the best results of athletes per discipline during the qualification period. Countries received additional quotas by having athletes ranked in the top 30 of the 2017–18 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup. After the distribution of B standard quotas, the remaining quotas were distributed using the Olympic FIS Points list, with each athlete only counting once for qualification purposes. A country could only enter a maximum of four athletes for the event.

Results

The race started at 10:00 and 13:15.
