Fog delays Alex Pullin's bid for gold

Alex Pullin

Pullin, the two-time world champion, is favoured to take gold but will have to wait another day now for competition because of poor visibility at the course on Monday.

Initially the seeding for the event was cancelled with expectations that the race proper would go ahead.

But at approximately 2.30pm local time (9.30pm AEDT) the race was called off for the day.

The sport's governing body, FIS, stated that the race would go ahead at 10.30am on Tuesday (5.30pm AEDT).

That is expected to be ratified by the IOC later on Tuesday morning.
