BORMIO, Italy (AP) 鈥 A men鈥檚 World Cup super-G scheduled for the Stelvio course on Thursday was called off because of warm weather.

With the temperature forecast to reach 7 degrees Celsius (45 degrees Fahrenheit), organizers were concerned that conditions would not be safe enough.

The race was originally scheduled for Lake Louise, Alberta, in November but had been postponed because of weather issues at the Canadian resort. It was not immediately clear if the race would be postponed to a later date again or canceled altogether.

The race would have been the final event of the calendar year.

The men open 2022 with a slalom in Zagreb, Croatia, on Jan. 5.

Over the previous two days, won a downhill in Bormio and won a super-G.

Also Thursday, the International Ski Federation announced that women鈥檚 giant slalom and slalom races scheduled for Maribor, Slovenia, on Jan. 8 and 9, respectively, have been canceled because of 鈥渢he present situation on the race hill and unfavorable weather forecast.鈥

鈥淎 possible replacement will be communicated in due course,鈥 the FIS said.
