The women’s slalom on Tuesday was carried out by the FIS in Zagreb under precarious conditions. For the men’s race on Bärenberg outside the gates of the Croatian capital, she then hoisted the “white flag” 24 hours later as a sign of surrender to the capricious weather.
The main reason was the warm temperatures and the slope that is too soft. The strong gusts of wind, which, in addition to the bad slope, had impaired the women’s slalom the day before, brought, as feared, a bad weather front over the city – with rain and further strong winds. In its justification for the rejection, the FIS summarized the situation briefly and succinctly: “Extreme weather conditions”.
The start was initially postponed by 15.45 p.m. wanted to carry out an additional inspection of the runway. Shortly afterwards, the cancellation was communicated after the idea of postponing it to the later evening had also been discarded. Now it should start on Thursday. The 1st run starts at 1 p.m., the 2nd run starts at 16.10.
This puts the riders in time constraints and travel stress, because the technicians are already on Saturday and Sunday a giant slalom and a slalom on the program in Adelboden. To make things a little faster, the drivers will travel from Zagreb to Switzerland on a charter flight after the race.
The canceled slalom on Wednesday is after the two descents from Lake Louise and Beaver Creek and the two Super-Gs from Lake Louise and Bormio were the fifth men’s race this season, which had to be postponed. The FIS must look for dates and alternative locations for a downhill run and a Super-G.
