Heavy overnight snowfall prompted World Cup organizers to cancel a women's super-G in Val di Fassa, Italy, on Sunday — wiping out the entire weekend after Saturday's race was also cancelled.
"Due to the heavy overnight snowfall and the current slope conditions, the jury together with the LOC (local organizing committee) decided to cancel today's women's super-G race," the International Ski Federation said.
Heavy snowfall on the La VolatA course also was behind the decision to cancel Saturday's super-G.
Next up on the women's schedule is a Scandinavian swing with downhill and super-G races in Kvitfjell, Norway, next weekend, followed by technical races in Åre, Sweden, the following weekend.
Shiffrin avoided major damage to her left knee but is dealing with an MCL sprain along with a sprain of the tibiofibular ligament. She also continues to recover from a bone bruise at the start of the season.
Shiffrin led the overall standings before her crash but has now dropped into second place, 205 points behind Lara Gut-Behrami.
