Men's Super G Race At World Championships Cancelled By Snow

BEAVER CREEK, Colo. (AP) — The men's super-G race at the world championships Wednesday has been canceled because of too much snow on the course. The event has not yet been rescheduled.

However, there are only downhill training runs set for Thursday, possibly making that an option. Race officials will make a determination on Wednesday night.

Workers tried to remove the snow from the course all morning. There was also inconsistent visibility most of the morning and the wind picked up.

The day before, the women raced the super-G in blustery conditions, with Austria's Anna Fenninger taking gold and hometown favorite Lindsey Vonn finishing third.

American skier Ted Ligety is the defending champion in the event after winning in Austria two years ago. He won three gold medals at those championships.
