FIS weighing options for new ski schedule
The International Ski Federation is considering a new schedule for the Vancouver Olympics that would entail holding seven races on consecutive days.
Men's race director Guenter Hujara revealed the tentative plan after the men's downhill was postponed Saturday.
The men's downhill already has been rescheduled for 10:30 a.m. Monday. Hujara says the men's super-combined then could be held Tuesday, the women's downhill race Wednesday and the women's super-combined race Thursday.
The schedule then could pick up as normal with the men's and women's super-G races Friday and Saturday Feb. 19 and 20, and the men's giant slalom Sunday Feb. 21. After that, only three races would remain.
Except for the men's downhill, however, the rest of Hujara's proposal has not yet been confirmed.
