The alpine skiing event is particularly vulnerable to changes in meteorological conditions as a winter sport held outdoors. The commonly used risk assessment methods cannot be inflexible and cannot be dynamically adjusted to combine multiple risk factors and actual conditions. A knowledge graph can organize data resources in the risk domain as structured knowledge systems. This paper combines a knowledge graph and risk assessment to effectively assess the risk status. First of all, we introduce the relevant literature review of sports event risk assessment, combining the characteristics of alpine skiing events. Then, we summarize the risk types of alpine skiing events and related risk knowledge. Secondly, a model is proposed to introduce an event risk assessment model based on the RippleNet framework combined with the characteristics of large-scale sports events. Moreover, the validity of the model is verified. The results show that the RippleNet-based event risk assessment model can be used to assess the risk of alpine skiing events. In order to effectively deal with the large-scale sports events that occur with a variety of risks, the smooth implementation of large-scale sports events provides a strong guarantee.
