First the timed trials and then the men's and women's downhill races: this is the decision that the FIS took after the team leaders' meeting in Lenzerheide, Switzerland.
At the Finals the regulation does not want the busy schedule to be changed.
After the cancellation of the tests also this morning due to wind and snow, it would have been normal to expect the cancellation of the races, freezing to date the discipline rankings and assignment of the downhill cups to Sofia Goggia and to the Swiss Beat Feuz.
But this was not the case: for Fis every rule has its exceptions.
The failure to cancel in a certain sense benefits the Swiss Lara Gut Behrami among women who has the opportunity to overcome the blue in the standings. In addition, in the race for the general cup, the sprinter Gut will always have a very important race to try to overcome the Slovak Petra Vhlova who is a technical skier. The same goes for the men's world cup, in which the Swiss Marco Odermatt will have one more chance to score points than his French rival Alexis Pinturault.
Tomorrow - with other snowfalls expected during the night - the women's test will be, possibly on the entire track, at 10.30 and the race at 13.45. The times for men's practice and competition have not yet been communicated.
