Italian organizers have decided to postpone the second men’s World Cup giant scheduled for Sunday to Monday, for safety reasons related to the snow that fell in Lombardy.

The snow fell too heavily in Santa Caterina (Italy) on Saturday and overnight from Saturday to Sunday. The jury felt that the safety of the athletes was not guaranteed to play the second World Cup giant which was to be played on Sunday.
The event has been postponed to Monday, the scheduled reserve day. It has been snowing non-stop since Friday in the Lombardy resort and the deluge of snowflakes on Saturday, which did not prevent the holding of the first giant organized in Santa Caterina, did not give the teams time to prepare the track “Deborah Compagnoni ”for 10 o’clock this Sunday.
On Saturday, the first giant of the weekend was won by Croatian Filip Zubcic. Switzerland’s Marco Odermatt was third. This weekend, the two women’s super-Gs scheduled for St. Moritz had also been canceled, due to the risk of avalanches being too great.
