Courchevel super-G cancelled due to snow and fog
The men's world cup super-G event at Courchevel has been cancelled due to heavy snow and fog, the International Ski Federation said on Saturday.
Another super-G will be raced Sunday and is the penultimate event before the final super-G race in Norway in two weeks time.
"Due to heavy snowfall, fog and the weather forecast, the organisers have decided to cancel the super-G," the FIS said.
Marco Odermatt leads the standings with 425 points Austria's Vincent Kriechmayer is second at 158pts with a tight pack close behind him including Franjo Von Allmen, who won three gold medals at the Milan-Cortina Olympics.
The 28-year-old Odermatt won two Olympic silvers and bronze in Bormio last month missing out on the golds, but won the overall World Cup title for a fifth consecutive time on Friday.
