Mikaela Shiffrin attempts to defend her title when the Alpine skiing world championships open with the women’s super-G. The race is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. (1200 GMT).
But the Olympia delle Tofane course is still being prepared after a meter (3 feet) of snow fell on the piste and forced organizers to postpone the women’s combined that was scheduled for Monday.
Shiffrin has not raced super-G for more than a year due to her break from the sport following the death of her father.
Lara Gut-Behrami has won four straight World Cup super-Gs and is the favorite for gold.
