Rain and snowfall forced the cancellation of the second men’s World Cup downhill on the Streif course Saturday in Kitzbuhel, Austria, a day after Swiss skier Beat Feuz won the first.
FIS was considering rescheduling the race for Sunday in place of a super-G run planned for that day.
Three-time downhill World Cup champion and 2017 world champion Feuz won the storied downhill for the first time on Friday, when his Swiss teammate Urs Kryenbuhl and American skier Ryan Cochran-Siegle got injured in high-speed crashes.
Friday’s race was rescheduled from another iconic resort, Wengen in Switzerland, where the race was cancelled last week following a rise in COVID-19 infections.
