Women’s downhill called off in Lake Louise

December 6, 2008 – Today’s women’s World Cup downhill in Lake Louise was called off because heavy snowfalls meant the visibility was too poor to compete.

Organizers twice delayed the start of the second downhill of the season and finally called it off with no sign of a reprieve.

It was not immediately clear whether the race would be rescheduled for a later date in Lake Louise or elsewhere.

American World Cup holder Lindsey Vonn won the first downhill of the winter in Lake Louise on Friday.
