Alpine skiing - Women's giant slalom at risk due to weather


ROSA KHUTOR, Russia (Reuters) - The Olympic women's giant slalom risks turning into a two-day affair, rather than the usual two legs, after officials warned teams on Monday that rain, fog and rising temperatures threatened the schedule.

The start of Tuesday's first leg was brought forward by 90 minutes to 0930 local (0530 GMT) from 1100 to try and beat the weather, but the forecast was for rain all day and it turning increasingly heavy.
