black day for skiing. After canceling the women's slalom in Courchevel, was also decided to cancel the men's downhill on the Saslong due to the strong wind. The decision was taken after they had dropped the first twenty athletes. Some

remorse for France, which saw heads of his athletes, Johan Clarey and Adrien Theaux, respectively the first and second place. The race was initially suspended for half an hour after the descent of the first 18 athletes and then resumed with the evidence of Aksel Lund Svindal, Beat Feuz and Klaus Kroell.

A decision which leaves a little 'bitter taste in my mouth even as Italians who competed on a home track, but in this case, the athletes' safety comes first.
