Follow the Olympic Games on RDS and Sportish

The mixed team parallel event, the last alpine skiing event of the Beijing Olympics, has been postponed from Saturday to Sunday due to gusts of wind blowing over the Yanqing area, organizers announced on Saturday.

The start will be given at 9:00 a.m. (8:00 p.m. in Quebec), on the last day of competition of the Games. The weather forecast announces again a strong wind and gusts on the field of Yanqing.

The wind fell hard on the Yanqing area on Saturday, gusts of nearly 60 km / h setting the giant gates on the parallel course.

The mixed team parallel opposes the countries in a single-elimination table with matches consisting of four parallel duels (two women and two men per team).

Main point of discussion for the rescheduling, the new program poses logistical problems as the World Cup circuit continues next week in Crans Montana (Switzerland) and Garmisch (Germany).

“Some teams stay, others had planned to leave early Sunday morning,” said the communications manager of the International Ski Federation (FIS).

If this race were not to be held during these Olympics, it would be the second event in Olympic history to be canceled, according to AFP data, after the 10,000m men’s speed skating at the Olympics-1928, in St – Moritz.
