Alpine skiing World Cup Finals downhill canceled, ending season title races

Italian Sofia Goggia and Swiss Beat Feuz clinched the World Cup downhill season titles after the last scheduled downhill races this winter were canceled in Lenzerheide, Switzerland.

The World Cup Finals downhills on Wednesday were called off after snowfall and winds forced the cancellation of training runs on three consecutive days. By rule, World Cup Finals races cannot be rescheduled.

Goggia, who was to race for the first time since fracturing a bone in her right knee in a Jan. 31 crash, secured her second World Cup downhill season title.

Though Goggia missed two World Cup downhills in February, the Olympic champion held on to a 70-point lead over Swiss Corinne Suter thanks to four consecutive wins in December and January.
