The Ticino will not be able to increase her capital by 205 points ahead of Mikaela Shiffrin this Saturday. The fault is the snow, which fell en masse in the north-east of Italy. The American, injured on January 26 during the descent from Cortina d’Ampezzo, can thus remain within reach of Lara Gut-Behrami for an additional 24 hours.
“Due to the large amount of snow that fell in the last 24 hours, today’s super-G in Val di Fassa has been canceled,” wrote the International Federation on its X account, at 5:56 a.m. already Work on the hill will continue in order to be ready for tomorrow.”
The Swiss still have the possible super-G on Sunday, as well as the descent and the super-G planned in the Norwegian resort of Kvitfjell, in Norway, on March 2 and 3, to try to increase her lead over the five-time holder of the large crystal globe.
