After a series of crashes, the downhill race in Crans-Montana was canceled on Friday after six racers had started. Nina Ortlieb was uninjured in her crash. There is great concern for Norway's Marte Monsen and US star Lindsey Vonn.

Of the six skiers who started within the space of just under an hour, only three made it to the finish line. Ortlieb, Monsen, and Vonn all crashed, resulting in the race being canceled.

Anger among athletes
Germany's Kira Weidle and Italy's Laura Pirovano were annoyed by the FIS's decision. This was mainly because Pirovano, the athletes' spokesperson, had apparently not been consulted at all. In addition, the last, fifth forerunner probably played a major role in the decision.

"It's a tough day"
"It didn't feel like anything crazy. It's a tough day. We don't know anything about Lindsey Vonn yet, we'll see," said US athlete Jacqueline Wiles, who was in the lead at the time of the cancellation. "I think it's difficult to know when to cancel the race or not. You should protect everyone."
