Unlike in the slalom and giant slalom, skiers will negotiate a series of flags placed at intervals down the run. They are set up on the longest and least winding alpine course.

The course is marked by red flags, with each skier making a single run down the course. The competitors with the fastest times will be amongst the medals.

Speed, accuracy and control will be key as they fly down the run at speeds of over 120km per hour. The difference between clearing the flag and holding your ski edges or crashing out can be just millimeters.

When Greta asked about her favourite part of the sport, she confirmed it was the challenge that lies ahead of her.

“I love the adrenaline. I love competing and I love that feeling of trying to put the best run down you can and coming down through the finish,” Greta said.

“When you're actually having your best run, everything slows down and everything becomes really easy and natural. It's that sort of zen moment, where your body and mind and everything comes together.”

Greta will need to channel that adrenaline to get that zen moment to tackle the course, as the super-g event is described as one of the fastest and daring events held at the Winter Olympics.

The women’s alpine program has had plenty of drama so far. Challenging conditions, iced gates and the slope are proving to be too much for even the most experienced racers.

Greta will be looking to improve on her result from PyeongChang 2018 when she placed 31st.

Competitors will be hoping for very little wind, cool temperatures and hard packed snow to prevent the course from becoming uneven in lower sections of the run.

Watch Greta in action from 2pm AEDT on Channel 7 and 7plus.
