She’s waited eight years since her last race in the Olympics, what’s another hour?
Vail’s Lindsey Vonn will need to wait at least an extra hour to make her PyeongChang Olympics debut in the super-G, due to strong winds. The U.S. Ski Team announced the delay on its Twitter account.

The race was scheduled to air live at 7 p.m. Mountain Time, but the delay pushes it back to 8 p.m. Friday in the United States.
“Well…start is already delayed an hour due to strong winds,” Vonn tweeted. “Hopefully it will die down so we can have a fair race.”
