Poor visibility pushes women's super-G to Monday in Garmisch, Germany

The last women's World Cup race before the world alpine ski championships was rescheduled to Monday because of fog hanging over the Kandahar course Sunday in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.

While conditions were perfect at the start, clouds over the middle and lower parts of the hill limited visibility and made a safe super-G race impossible.

Organizers shifted the start several times before postponing the event to Monday as conditions failed to improve in the afternoon.

The International Ski Federation said it took the decision "due to the current weather situation and the permanence of fog on the race course."

Switzerland's Lara Gut-Behrami won Saturday's super-G on the same course for her third straight win in the discipline.

Marie-Michèle Gagnon of Lac-Etchemin, Que., took bronze for the first World Cup podium of her career in a speed race and her first medal in almost five years.
