Weather Postpones Women’s GS

Due to strong winds and the weather forecast, the women’s Olympic giant slalom scheduled for Monday has been postponed to Thursday.

“It’s a bummer that we’re not able to race today,” said Mikaela Shiffrin. “But with the training block I’ve had, I’m prepared and feeling good. I’ll use this time to continue to train and refocus on Wednesday’s slalom race. We have a great gym and space to eat and take plenty of naps, so I’ll use this time to recharge.”
