Due to high winds in La Molina, Spain at the 2013 IPC Alpine Skiing<br />World Championships, Saturday's (23 February) slalom event has been<br />postponed until Sunday. Racing had got underway as expected at 9:30 CET<br />with the women's visually impaired class. All racers completed the<br />course despite the conditions however, during the women's standing<br />class the weather deteriorated to such an extent that competition was<br />temporarily suspended. It was hoped that the strong winds that were<br />blowing up the slope making it difficult for skiers to see would die<br />down. They did not and therefore organisers decided to cancel<br />competition for the day. All six slalom races have been rescheduled for<br />Sunday (24 February) which was supposed to be a rest day for all<br />athletes. Conditions permitting, the racing will start at 9:30 CET and<br />will involve 116 competitors. After two days of competition and 12<br />medal events at the IPC Alpine Skiing World Championships - the<br />downhill and super-G - Austria leads the medals table with five medals,<br />three of which are gold. The 2013 IPC Alpine Skiing World Championships<br />in La Molina, Spain will run through to 27 February. Nearly 120 skiers<br />from 28 will compete in the event which is the last major international<br />Championships ahead of the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games.
