Goggia, Feuz win WCup downhill titles after races canceled
By GRAHAM DUNBARMarch 17, 2021 GMT
Sofia Goggia and Beat Feuz clinched the downhill World Cup season titles on Wednesday without needing to put on their skis after the final races in the discipline were canceled because of heavy snow.
Goggia, who has not raced since breaking a bone in her right knee seven weeks ago, won the downhill crystal globe for a second time. It was the fourth straight title for Feuz.
The races in Lenzerheide, Switzerland, were canceled because of “continuing snowfall and the present weather situation,” organizers said.
The decision was bad news for Swiss skiers Lara Gut-Behrami and Marco Odermatt, who were hoping to make up ground in the race for the women’s and men’s overall World cup title.
