The Latest: Olympic women's Alpine finally underway

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — The Latest on the Pyeongchang Olympics (all times local):

10 a.m.

The women's Alpine racing program at the Pyeongchang Olympics has finally begun with Manuela Moelgg of Italy starting the first run of the giant slalom.

Hampered by high wind and weather, the women's races have been postponed twice at the Yongpyong Alpine Center.

On a clear day with much less wind, Moelgg got things going. American standout Mikaela Shiffrin will be the No. 7 racer out of the starting gate. She's among the favorites in the giant slalom.

The second run is Thursday afternoon South Korea time.
