Poor weather forces cancellation of men’s giant slalom (The Associated Press)

Fog and rain forced the cancellation of Switzerland’s classic Alpine World Cup giant slalom on Saturday. Organizers at Adelboden – which featured in the first week of World Cup racing 50 seasons ago – said skiers’ safety would be risked by racing on a poor snow surface. ”The legs of the racers are the highest priority,” said Markus Waldner, race director for the International Ski Federation (FIS).
