What is the Olympic Super-G?

I know its skiing but I need to know all the minor descriptions so that I can write an in-depth paragraph about it.

Answers:

It's an alpine race that fits between the downhill and the giant slalom. It has a steeper course than the GS, with wider spacings between the gates.

If I read the rules correctly, in GS, the gates have to be at least 10m apart. In Super-G they must be at least 25 meters apart.

A GS the vertical drop is 250-450 meters, in Super-G 500-600 meters.

In GS, you take 15% of the vertical drop to compute the number of gates, i.e. 300 m drop, 45 gates. In Super-G its 10%.
