   Ellipsis of alpine combined: in alpine skiing, an event that adds a skier's times in a downhill (or super-G) race and a slalom into one result.

   He finished second in the combined after a strong slalom run.

   The combined rewards skiers who excel in both the downhill and the slalom.

   Note

   A skier's shortening: drop alpine, and the event's name stands alone as a noun, with its own plural, combineds. Skiing magazine in 1985 lists downhill, slalom, giant slalom, Super G and combineds as separate race events. In the modern individual format, the event pairs a downhill (or super-G) run with a slalom run, so the combined in a results table means one skier's showing across both courses. Source
