THE first classic downhill of the Alpine skiing World Cup season was abandoned yesterday because of strong winds.
Despite several delays, 21 competitors had completed their runs on the twisty and terrain-filled Saslong course in Val Gardena, Italy, before organizers decided to call it off. Johan Clarey had been leading a French one-two ahead of Adrien Theaux, with Patrick Kueng of Switzerland in third. Beat Feuz of Switzerland won the Saslong super-G on Friday. In Courchevel, France, a women's World Cup slalom was also called off yesterday because of bad weather conditions, organizers said. Snow kept falling overnight on the piste while heavy fog made the visibility too poor for the race to go ahead. A giant slalom is scheduled for today but could be replaced by a slalom, weather permitting.
