The Latest: Women's big air final at Olympics is rescheduled
PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — The Latest on the Pyeongchang Olympics (all times local):
The women's big air final at the Pyeongchang Olympics has been rescheduled to Thursday because of expected strong winds on Friday.
The snowboarding competition sends racers down a 160-foot-long (50-meter) ramp to vault off a huge kicker and travel up to 100 feet (30 meters) below for the landing.
It made its debut at the Olympics on Monday.
The slopestyle competition at the Pyeongchang Games was raced last week in strong winds, and almost every rider agreed it should not have been held then. Snowboarders in that event completed only nine of the 50 runs without a fall.
