Everything is scrambled again for a crazy World Cup.
There is no Coronavirus in the middle this time, but the weather that forced the race jury to cancel the male super-g of Kvitfjell, with no possibility of recovery as communicated by the FIS a few minutes ago. "We knew that today would have been complicated, in these conditions we could not compete - explained Markus Waldner - It was dangerous for the athletes".
So, the specialty cup that ends, with only six races played, in the hands of Mauro Caviezel: a winner more than worthy for his extraordinary consistency in the best season of his career, even if the Swiss has never won in his career, albeit with the beauty of 10 active podiums.
Vincent Kriechmayr mocked for 3 points, with Kilde third at -29, for a figure that means Austria without specialty cups as has not happened since 1995 ...
And what will happen for the general World Cup? The giant calendar and slalom in Kranjska Gora remain on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 March, with Kilde preceding 54 Pinturault points, while Kristoffersen is at -161 and is still ... alive thanks to today's cancellation. But be careful, because the Slovenian races themselves are in some way in danger due ... Coronavirus.
Slovenia has banned events that bring gatherings of more than 500 people, so the stage on Podkoren could only be held behind closed doors, such as the World Championships in flight (ski jumping) in Planica. Everything is at stake, you live every day.
