Women's World Cup Super-G Race Canceled Due to Heavy Snowfall

This marks the third race cancellation this season, with the circuit moving to Val d'Isere, France, next weekend.

  • Heavy snowfall overnight led to the cancellation of a women's World Cup super-G race where Mikaela Shiffrin was expected to be a strong contender.
  • The cancellation was due to a 'drastic change of the slope condition' that made preparing the course impossible.
  • This is the third speed race canceled this season due to difficult weather conditions.
  • Previously, both scheduled downhills last month at the Matterhorn mountain on the Swiss-Italian border were also canceled due to heavy snow and strong winds.
  • The women's World Cup circuit will move to Val d'Isere, France, for downhill and super-G races next weekend.
