NOTEWORTHY

The women’s giant slalom was postponed because of strong wind, the second Alpine skiing race called off at the Pyeongchang Olympics.

The giant slalom, which was set to be American Mikaela Shiffrin’s first event of these Winter Games, was pushed back to Thursday, the same day as the men’s downhill, which had already been postponed from Sunday.

Shiffrin’s first race in South Korea now will be Wednesday in the slalom, in which she is the defending Olympic champion.
