Snowstorm Disrupts Olympic Snowboarding Event

The Olympic women's snowboarding slopestyle final originally set for Tuesday in Livigno was postponed because of a severe snowstorm. Organizers canceled the event, which was scheduled to begin at 1 pm local time, and have yet to announce a new date.

This delay impacts Zoi Sadowski-Synnott's bid for a repeat victory, as she had secured the top qualifying spot on Sunday. That initial round was moved up a day in anticipation of the incoming storm. Similarly, qualifiers for freestyle aerials, located nearby, faced delays.

The men's ski big air finals are still planned for later on Tuesday. On Monday night, the women's big air contest was also delayed due to a windy squall. Despite the weather, Megan Oldham captured the top spot, with Eileen Gu in second. The weather forecast appears more favorable for Wednesday's men's slopestyle final.
