Alpine skiing – Lake Louise: The weather is acting up, the men’s downhill postponed to Saturday due to fog

The men’s Alpine Skiing World Cup downhill scheduled for Friday in Lake Louise has been postponed to Saturday due to fog in the Canadian resort, organizers said. The downhill will therefore replace the Super-G originally scheduled for Saturday. Instead of the downhill-SuperG-SuperG triptych scheduled for Lake Louise, there will therefore only be the downhill on Saturday before the Super-G, still on the program on Sunday.

It is already the eighth race on the world alpine ski circuit canceled since the start of the season at the end of October in Sölden (Austria) after the opening women’s giant due to bad weather, then four runs (two men and two women) in Zermatt/Cervinia and two parallels in Lech (Austria) in November due to the lack of snow. So far, the men have been able to compete in a giant slalom in Sölden and the women two slaloms in Levi (Finland) last week.
