At the XI. At the 1972 Olympic Games in Sapporo , six alpine skiing competitions were held. The slopes were located on the slopes of the Eniwa and Teine mountains . The first three places in downhill, giant slalom and slalom also received world championship medals in addition to the Olympic medals, since these competitions were also counted as the 22nd Alpine World Ski Championships. Only World Championship medals were awarded in Alpine Combined.
The French men's team surprisingly remained without a medal. After the exclusion of Karl Schranz , the Austrian team wanted to obtain a subsequent nomination from Harald Rofner (who then also flew to Sapporo), but the IOC rejected this because the regulations did not provide for a subsequent nomination.

After the first heat, Erik Håker from Norway was in the lead, but dropped out in the second heat. 73 participants, 48 of them in the ranking. Eliminated among others: Francisco Fernández Ochoa (ESP), Erik Håker (NOR), Sepp Heckelmiller (FRG), Christian Neureuther (FRG), Adolf Rösti (SUI).
Håker started the second race with No. 1 in front of Bruggmann, but according to press reports he probably wouldn't have had a chance against Thöni (No. 6), who drove confidently in the second race. This second run, flagged out by the Swiss trainer Berlinger, was much more difficult and forced the runners to constantly change their rhythm. The course suited the SSV runners because it also included two “shot rides” and Bruggmann and Mattle had the fastest skis. They catapulted themselves from ranks 10 and 11 to the medal ranks; Thöni was third behind Håker and Hagn (+ 0.08 s) (0.49 s behind the Norwegian); Promising places were Zwilling (+ 0.64), Tritscher (+ 0.81) and Neureuther (+ 1.54 s) in places 4 to 6.

72 participants, 37 of them in the ranking. Eliminated among others: Willi Frommelt (LIE), Erik Håker (NOR), Alfred Hagn (FRG), Josef Loidl (AUT), Alain Penz (FRA), Max Rieger (FRG), Hansjörg Schlager (FRG), Andreas Sprecher (SUI) , Reinhard Tritscher (AUT).
As can be seen from the introduction, Harald Rofner was not allowed to start for the Austrian team, but due to the mode, according to which the actual slalom the day before was preceded by a classification slalom in five groups, four drivers were able to start. The top 15 in the world rankings, among which only David Zwilling was on the part of the ÖSV, did not need to compete for classification. Zwilling and Jean-Noël Augert and also Gustav Thöni and Tyler Palmer did as forerunners (whereby Augert sustained a muscle injury after colliding with a goalpost). The overall best time in the classification went to Masami Ishimura (JPN). The procedure for the Olympic slalom was designed in such a way that after the top 15 in the world rankings with start numbers 16 to 20, the group winners started the race, followed by another 15 according to the FIS ranking list, the runners-up of the individual "qualifying groups", after 15 again the FIS the third placed etc.
Ochoa laid the foundation for the gold medal in the first heat, which he won in 55.36s ahead of the two Frenchmen Augert (+0.41) and Duvillard (+0.56s); Roland Thöni was 5th (+ 0.78) and Gustav Thöni was 8th (+ 1.33 s). Although the latter set the best time in the second run (53.59), Ochoa was only 0.32 seconds behind.
