High winds force cancellation of men's World Cup season opening giant slalom
Strong winds forced the cancellation of the season-opening men's World Cup giant slalom Sunday in Soelden, Austria, after 47 of the 73 skiers in the first run had started. Gusts high up on the Rettenbachferner glacier initially prompted organizers to lower the start gate, which reduced run times by nearly 10 seconds.
