Storm forces cancellation of ski World Cup race in Austria

A men’s alpine ski World Cup combined event in Hinterstoder has been called off as a result of storm Bianca by Austrian government on Friday, organisers said.

It was not immediately clear if the event, the third combined of the season, would be rescheduled.

A men’s super-g is scheduled at the venue on Saturday followed by a giant slalom on Sunday.

The women’s World Cup continues on Saturday with a super-g in La Thuile in north-west Italy.

Organisers say the weekend’s World Cup races at the venue are going ahead despite the outbreak of the coronavirus in northern regions of the country. (dpa/NAN)
