The alpine ski season begins with a cancellation. The women’s giant slalom in Sölden planned for today has been canceled due to the weather.
This was announced by the international ski association FIS on Saturday morning (October 22nd, 2022). The start of the first run was initially postponed by an hour. A short time later, however, the race was canceled entirely.
There had been precipitation during the night, and the rain continued in the morning. It was also very foggy along the route. It is not yet known if and when the race will be rescheduled.
Men’s race probably possible
The men’s giant slalom is planned for Sunday on the Rettenbachferner. Better weather is announced by then.
