Despite the efforts of the organizers, to ensure everything necessary to hold the Super-G women’s races in Italy’s Val di Fassi this weekend, both races were canceled due to force majeure.
The fastest female skiers in the world that we follow in the Audi FIS Ski World Cup, among them Elvedina Muzaferija, were greeted by large amounts of snow, and today an additional dense fog.
Muzaferia was supposed to start the first race this weekend 25th, which would mean the best starting number in this discipline so far. Saturday’s race was cancelled, and for the next day, the best female skier from Bosnia and Herzegovina won a lower starting number. However, the cancellation of the competition on February 24 and 25 brought new disappointment to the majority of female skiers, and in Bosnia and Herzegovina to the team especially because these are very important races before the very end of the World Cup.
“We are disappointed because the cancellation of these races definitely makes it difficult for us to qualify for the finals in the Super-G discipline. We also understand that skiing is such a sport and that we cannot change anything. It is also true that the organizers did their best to prepare the track, but it could not be brought to a level where it would be safe and the same for all competitors”, the Bosnian team stated with the message:
“Of course, there is still a chance that one Super-G will be moved to Kvitfjell, which most competitors would like. Even if that doesn’t happen, Elvedina is ready to give her all in the remaining Super-G race in Norway and, with a bit of luck, qualify for the final of the discipline in Saalbach”.
The fast disciplines move to Kvitfjell, where the current competition calendar brings one downhill and one Super-G.
Let’s remind, in the second part of the season, Muzaferija got in great form and collected a total of 102 points in the World Cup. In the Super-G discipline, she won 33 and 69 points in the downhill. In the overall standings, the discipline currently ranks 29th and 23rd and has a good chance of finishing in the top 25 in both disciplines.
