Or maybe they don't want random people winning the first round. Two runs give more security to the favorites.

 

Two runs is more fair indeed, so my preference would be to have two runs in every round, but that'd take too much time I guess.

They could just limit the number of qualifiers to 16 like in alpine snowboarding...

That would be another option. How does the qualifying work? I hope it's not 2-by-2, meaning 50% of the field has an advantage if one of the two tracks is slightly faster?

It currently is for alpine skiing. In snowboarding the top 16 from each course qualifies for the second preliminary round, and the top 16 combined times from both courses make it through.
