Weather Postpones Friday's Super-G

ST. MORITZ, Switzerland (Dec. 8, 2017) – Mikaela Shiffrin (Eagle-Vail, Colo.) continued her dominance on the FIS Ski World Cup circuit, winning the first run slalom in the alpine combined Friday. However, heavy fog scrubbed the second run super-G. Further details regarding the possibility of rescheduling the alpine combined will be released when available from the FIS.

Strong winds and fog also forced officials to swap Friday’s event program, running slalom first, followed by super-G. 

Friday’s first run slalom marked the return to the World Cup circuit for Julia Mancuso (Squaw Valley, Calif.), who last raced a World Cup event on March 17, 2015. Laurenne Ross (Bend, Ore.) was scheduled to return to action following last season’s knee injury but decided to sit out the slalom following the change in the event program. Ross is expected to start Saturday's super-G.

Up next, the women race a pair of super-G events Saturday and Sunday at St. Moritz. On the men’s side, Ted Ligety (Park City, Utah) and Tommy Ford (Bend, Ore.) lead the U.S. Ski Team men’s alpine tech group in giant slalom Saturday and slalom Sunday in Val d’Isere, France.
