Ailing (Eileen) Gu has to wait a little longer for her return to competition at Beijing 2022.
The women’s freeski slopestyle qualification on Sunday (13 February) was postponed due to the weather conditions, with heavy swirling snow in the Zhangjiakou mountains.
The first runs were due to start at 10:00am China Standard Time, but were then delayed by 2 hours, before the session was postponed as the weather continued to worsen. Organisers have announced the entire freeski schedule will be put back by 24 hours. Women's qualifying will therefore start at 10:00am on Monday 14th February, with the final a day later.
