No, the weather god is definitely not a ski fanatic at the moment. Now the Super-G in Beaver Creek is also falling victim to external circumstances. It is the fourth men’s competition to be canceled in this young season.
Snow and wind also make a race on the Birds of Prey impossible on Sunday. The Super-G, which was actually scheduled for 6:30 PM Swiss time, will not take place. Just like the two departures on Friday (heavy snow) and Saturday (too much fog).
The cancellations of the ski winter are causing concern for those responsible at the International Ski Federation FIS in view of the World Cup calendar. While one of the two planned downhill races in Zermatt/Cervinia will be moved to the following Thursday in Val Gardena, there are still four speed races that need to be rescheduled. The subjunctive mood has been deliberately chosen. There is currently a small chance that all four competitions can still take place. The calendar is too busy for that.
Markus Waldner, the FIS race director, sees opportunities in Wengen and Kvitfjell. A downhill and a super-G will be held in Norway in mid-February. Friday would be a good time for another race that weekend.
A super-G, a downhill and a slalom are planned in Wengen in mid-January. On the Lauberhorn, the program could be expanded on Thursday with a descent or a Super-G. The first discussions with the organizers in the Bernese Oberland are said to have already taken place. (SDA)
