Men's Giant parallel slalom - Snowboard
Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics

Event Format: The snowboarders competed two against each other on two side-by-side courses passing a number of gates marked with poles. In parallel giant slalom the gates were placed at a greater distance from each other than in the parallel slalom event and the snowboarders turns were longer than in parallel slalom. After a qualifying round the 16 athletes with the best results competed under a knock-out system with round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals and finals (Bronze medal race and Gold medal race). Each match in the knock-out rounds consisted of two heats as the riders switched courses in heat 1 and 2. The combined time for the two heats was used to decide the winner. The Olympic gold medal winner was the rider winning the Gold medal race.

Event facts: Men's Giant parallel slalom competition was held at the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park and 32 athletes participated in the event.
