Olympic Super-Combined Alpine Ski Race Postponed

   VOA Sports 12 February 2010

   The  women's  super-combined  Alpine  ski race at the Vancouver Winter
   Olympics  has  been  postponed,  after  heavy  snow  conditions caused
   training runs on Friday and Saturday to be canceled.
   The  women had been scheduled to race on Sunday, but the event must be
   postponed if the skiers do not complete at least one full training run
   prior  to  the  race.   A  new  date  for  the  event has not yet been
   announced.
   Officials say heavy overnight rain made the snow "too heavy," and that
   they  are  giving full priority to getting a nearby hill ready for the
   men's downhill race, considered a major event in Alpine skiing.
   The men's downhill event is scheduled for Saturday.
