Because the athletes are tomorrow already traveling to Lake Louise. First DH Training should be already on Tuesday.

80% of GS skiers won’t be in Lake Louise and the few that will could just skip one of the three trainings… I mean, sure not the easiest schedule wise, but sucks for all those GS girls that came all the way to the US for one race and saw it cancelled.

Can we just realize 2 minutes how absurd is That even with such crazy mistake she still was able to finish on the podium

Absolutely! It shows the dominance of her and Shiffrin, both made a big mistake and still they were the top-2, the rest has work to do  

[Monzanator 4,611]

Yeah, we've seen worse mistakes before that ended unpunished. Shiffrin and Vlhova are so far ahead of the rest thay can finish on the podium even with mistakes. Alpine skiing is very predictable on the women's side these days.

The women's alpine races in St Moritz (SUI) are about to be cancelled. The reason is that all people entering from Canada would have to spend 10 days in quarantine. There is also no exemption for athletes.

I was going to say "That sucks for the Canadians, but is that really a reason to cancel it?". Then I remembered Lake Louise  

[heywoodu 15,357]

By the way, the Lake Louise World Cup is rather questionable as well at the moment due to weather....not unrealistic that St Moritz will be cancelled because everyone was at an event which was cancelled as well  

 

Hopefully all these potentially missing speed events will be replaced somewhere, but I doubt it..

Broderick Thompson just won his first ever world cup medal, starting 35th, by finishing third in the first Beaver Creek Super G. This is his first top-20 finish in a non-Alpine Combined event.

And Polish ES commentator was surprised that Sander will get a podium here (not really a surprise with many DNFs too).
