Women's World Cup Downhill Race Cancelled for Second Day Due to Strong Winds

The race at Zermatt-Cervinia, marking the first cross-border races in World Cup history, sees all four race weekends cancelled so far.

  • Persistent strong winds on the Matterhorn mountain have led to the cancellation of another women's World Cup downhill race, marking the second day in a row.
  • The race was called off despite organizers delaying the start time twice in hopes of improved conditions.
  • The cancellations follow a week after both men's downhills on the same course were called off due to heavy snowfalls and strong winds.
  • All four race weekends at the Zermatt-Cervinia downhills, the first cross-border races in World Cup history, have been cancelled so far.
  • The women's World Cup continues with two more tech races, with a giant slalom and a slalom scheduled for Killington, Vermont, next weekend.
