What the hell. At the ski cross in Idre Fjäll, the men finished all their 1/8 finals, the first women were ready for their quarter finals and suddenly 'Ladies competition - Cancelled'.

 

Ok, one might think that's it for the day. But literally a minute or so later, the men's quarter finals were announced and started as if nothing happened

if I understand correctly what eusp commentator said, there were some protests because the team managers considered a pair of points of the track too demanding and/or dangerous for the girls (in particular, the small climb just at the beginning and the big curve right on the slope halfway through the course)...

but frankly I don't know why yesterday they had nothing to say and suddenly today there was something wrong...

 

 

update...

just found this on FIS website:

 

'The second of this weekend’s back-to-back Audi FIS Ski Cross World Cup competitions in Sweden’s Idre Fjall resort went down on Sunday but not without a hitch, as Saturday’s bluebird conditions were replaced with falling snow and heavy winds on day two of competition, forcing the cancellation of the ladies’ finals although allowing the men’s to continue, where France’s Jean Frederic Chapuis claimed a huge victory.

The call to cancel the ladies’ final was a last-minute decision by the jury made as the first heat of the quarter finals was approaching the start gate. Having already postponed the start of the competition by 30 minutes in the hopes that the wind would die down, and with the earlier onset of darkness at the northerly Idre Fjall location quickly approaching, officials couldn’t push the race back any longer and made the decision to call off the ladies’ side of things to avoid a potentially dangerous situation for the athletes.

With that decision, Friday’s qualification results would go into the books as the final results for the competition, giving Sweden’s own Sandra Naeslund her fifth victory of the season and making it two-for-two on the weekend at her home country venue. Swiss star Fanny Smith  would take second place, while Germany’s Heidi Zacher would walk away from Idre in third.'

In other words: 'we had no faith the women could hold their own in these conditions'
