Alpine Skiingwomen's calendar

The cancellation of the super-gs in Sankt Moritz, which joins that of the quick tests in China at the end of February, complicates all plans on the eve of the five French races in the series. The opening of the European Cup for girls is also missing in the Engadine.

Just a nice mess. Whether for the Covid situation, with the restrictions imposed by the Chinese government that will prevent flying to Yanqing for the pre-Olympics, or for the crazy weekend spent in Sankt Moritz under the snowstorm, here is the Women's World Cup , when you still have to see a race that is a super-g or a downhill, you have to recover four speed tests.
Three super-gs, the two canceled for today and tomorrow in the Upper Engadine and the Chinese one on February 28, and the descent on the Olympic track that should have been held on Saturday 27 February.
It is now certain that we will go directly to 2021 to find the right spaces in an already very rich calendar, even if the weekend in Asia will be made up on the same dates and, with many probabilities, from Italy and La Thuile.
Now the CdM in pink will travel towards Courchevel for the giants of next weekend, then France will host what at this point will become the opening triptych for jet women, from the 18th to the 20th of the month on the Oreiller-Killy with two descents and a super-g, obviously hoping that the last stage of the Critérium de la Première Neige receives a respite from the weather, considering the precedents which are anything but good (last year double cancellation in the same period of the year) .
After the five races in Savoy and the mini Christmas stop, the two technical races of Semmering (December 28-29) will then lead to the slalom in Zagreb on January 3 and, in the next stage of Sankt Anton, here is the opportunity to possibly add a super-g at the "double" descent / super-g in the Arlberg (9-10 January). It should be remembered that the priority, in case of recoveries, goes to the country that suffered the cancellations, and Switzerland would then, apart from Lenzerheide finals (which cannot be touched), only Crans-Montana in the calendar. In the Canton of Valais there is the ideal solution to add a race to the two descents already scheduled for 23-24 January, hoping that at that point there will be no other races in ... the queue.
