Days go by and cancellations also on the White Circus. The FIS has just confirmed the definitive cancellation of the Naeba slalom (JPN). No date or station could be found to replace the race, which could not be contested due to severe weather conditions a week ago.

This is bad news for Daniel Yule in the discipline’s Crystal Globe hunt. There are now only two slaloms left on the calendar, at Kranjska Gora and Cortina d’Ampezzo, while the Valaisan are 57 points behind the leader of the discipline’s classification Henrik Kristoffersen. Operation also regrettable for Alexis Pinturault, who could hope to get closer to his opponent in the race for the big crystal Globe Aleksander Aamodt Kilde.

If the FIS has already formalized this cancellation, there is nothing to say that the last winter races, in Kvitfjell, Kranjska Gora and Cortina d’Ampezzo will take place. The body is expected to rule earlier this week on the consequences of the coronavirus epidemic on the end of the season. And in the business, we are hardly optimistic.
