BAD KLEINKIRCHHEIM, Austria — Organizers were rebuilding the infrastructure at a women’s World Cup course after a storm destroyed the finish area and the safety fencing, forcing the cancellation of a downhill on Saturday.
The International Ski Federation said there’s still a chance a super-G can be held on the same course Sunday, though temperatures rising to above 50 degrees have been affecting the icy slope.
The super-G could be Lindsey Vonn’s next chance to match the all-time record of 62 women’s World Cup wins by Annemarie Moser-Proell of Austria.
“Finally I figured out this downhill course and we have a wind storm … ugh. Race is canceled. #badtime,” Vonn tweeted. “Hopefully (Cortina d’Ampezzo) can pick up the canceled DH from today. Would really love another race there. One of my favorites!”
