Severe weather, in this case a rather strong storm. Sadly it was impossible to continue the events today, so it has all been cancelled and it's now a matter of waiting what happens with the women's Q result.

Tour de Ski - Stage 4 cancelled due to severe weather

 

Today's 4th stage of the Veissmann FIS Tour de Ski performance by Le Gruyère has been cancelled due to severe weather.  Heavy rain and strong winds made the competition course not safe for the athletes.  The competition has halted after the ladies' prologue before the men began.  The ladies' sprint qualification times will not count towards the Tour de Ski but will count for FIS points.  

 

Discussions continue between the FIS Jury and the local Organizing Committee in Oberstdorf, regarding damage to the courses to be used from tomorrow's mass start competitions.

For now it looks like stage 5 will go ahead as planned. 

[heywoodu 15,335]

And we're underway as planned.

And we're underway as planned with stage 5.

Why do we have the exact same posts in two threads?

I've been wondering that since the beginning  (I know the races count for the World Cup as well, but I'd say it might be easier/better readable to keep it simple there and focus the Tour de Ski things in the Tour de Ski thread  ) 

 

I started thinking it was a rule, so joined for a moment in this game of posting it in two threads
