Weather scrubs women's downhill at Sestriere
SESTRIERE, Italy — A women's World Cup downhill race was postponed because of snowfall and thick fog on the Kandahar Banchetta course.
Organizers say the race will be made up on Sunday, with a super-combined possibly pushed back to Monday.
The final training session Friday was canceled because of weather. Swedish standout Anja Paerson led the opening training session on Thursday ahead of Tina Maze of Slovenia and Olympic champion Lindsey Vonn of the United States.
This weekend marks the final speed races before the World Championships begin Feb. 8 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.
