Poor weather conditions forced the cancellation of Saturday's freestyle World Cup ski cross event.

 

GRASGEHREN: FIS Freestyle says "heavy rain through the night turned to heavy snow early in the morning, making conditions impossible for racing."


Friday s training and qualification sessions were also cancelled due to the weather.
Organizers still hope Sunday s event can go ahead.


Fanny Smith of Switzerland leads the women s standings with 396 points, 95 ahead of Kelsey Serwa of Canada on 301, with Ophelie David of France third on 271.


Another Swiss, Alex Fiva, leads the men s competition with 384 points, followed by compatriot Armin Niederer on 373 and Canadian Brady Leman with 248.
