LIVIGNO, Italy — The freeski ladies’s halfpipe, which was set for Saturday at 1:30 p.m. Eastern, has been postponed till Sunday after a steady snowstorm prolonged into the night, making the halfpipe unsafe for competitors.
The occasion is now slated to happen Sunday at 10:40 a.m. ET.

The occasion is the final probability for Eileen Gu, the American-born freeskier who represents China, to depart the Milan Cortina Olympics with a gold medal. She received silver in each slopestyle and massive air, however the halfpipe — the place she received gold in Beijing for years in the past — is her favourite occasion.
The 12-person area for the finals contains two Americans, Kate Gray and Svea Irving, however satirically one of many high contenders to beat Gu is one other American-born athlete who represents one other nation.
Zoe Atkin, who was born in Massachusetts whereas her dad and mom (one from Malaysia, one from England) had been working within the U.S., competes for Great Britain. She received the gold medal on the world championships final 12 months and, like Gu, attends Stanford.
