Alpine skiing World Cup men’s giant slalom moved to Monday

SANTA CATERINA VALFURVA, Italy (AP) — The second men’s World Cup giant slalom this weekend was postponed for a day and moved to Monday as heavy snowfall in the Italian Alps made the race impossible on Sunday.

The International Ski Federation said that “for today’s race the safety for athletes cannot be guaranteed.”

FIS said the start times remained the same for Monday’s race, with the first run starting at 4 a.m. ET and the second run at 7 a.m.

Monday had already been scheduled as a possible reserve day after weather predictions looked unfavorable for days.
