In Snowboarding, Special Olympics Switzerland offers the disciplines of slalom, giant slalom, and, in the future, parallel slalom. The sport requires a lot of balance and responsiveness from the athletes to adapt to the changing conditions of the track and course.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Competition Format<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"margin-top:-12px;margin-bottom:-12px\">In competitions, a distinction is made between two levels (Intermediate and Advanced). <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The levels differ in the length of the race track, the steepness, and the difficulty of the set course. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Snowboard races usually take place on the same day\/location as the ski races. If there are too few participants, snowboarders will compete alongside skiers and be assigned to the same performance categories.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Special Olympics Switzerland is also invited to international competitions and the World Games. We forward invitations to events abroad to athletes and sports groups who are active with us.
