Mikaela Shiffrin was poised to win her third straight World Cup overall title on Saturday — even though neither she nor anyone else was racing.
The women’s World Cup super-G race in Sochi was postponed from Saturday to Sunday due to snowstorms, which also means the end of plans to host a second super-G this weekend.
That leaves Shiffrin with a 719-point lead and a maximum of 700 points remaining this season — unless any rescheduled races are unexpectedly added by governing body FIS to the calendar. All other skiers trail at least 900 points behind Shiffrin, who has a career-best 14 World Cup wins this season.
