ST. MORITZ, Switzerland (AP) — A World Cup combined event was canceled because of thick fog on Friday, soon after Mikaela Shiffrin was fastest in the opening slalom run.
The poor conditions wiped away Shiffrin’s chances of quickly adding to her overall lead in the standings. Organizers first pushed back the super-G start time and then decided to scrap it.
Still, the American defending overall champion could get a second chance on Saturday to win the event.
The International Ski Federation said it would talk with team coaches about letting Saturday’s scheduled super-G race double up as the second run of the combined.
