BANSKO, Bulgaria (AP) The women's World Cup racing has been canceled for a second straight day due to fog in southern Bulgaria.

Organizers called off the super-G event in Bansko on Saturday following a third interruption, after a blanket of cloud obscured the top of the 1.7-kilometer course.

Thirteen of the 56 competitors raced before the event was canceled, with three failing to finish, including Switzerland's Fabienne Suter who protested after crashing into a gate in heavy fog.

Italy's Elena Curtoni had led after clocking 1 minute, 15.74 seconds.

A combined race is scheduled for Sunday.
