Courchevel Super-G Canceled in Heavy Snow, Sunday Race at Risk

FIS pulled the replacement event due to heavy snow with poor visibility.

Overview

  • FIS announced on Saturday that the first of two Super-Gs in Courchevel was canceled and will not be rescheduled.
  • The scrapped race had been added to replace a previously canceled Super-G in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
  • Forecasts indicate continuous snowfall through Sunday morning in the Trois Vallées area, putting the remaining Super-G in doubt.
  • If the second race cannot be held, Marco Odermatt would clinch the Super-G season title thanks to his 158-point lead.
  • The weekend schedule had already been reshuffled, with downhill trainings canceled and Friday’s downhill won by Austria’s Vincent Kriechmayr.
