Twickenham's Chemmy Alcott was again left cursing the heavens in Canada as her bid for a fourth successive top-20 finish was halted in the giant slalom.
The 27-year-old has been unfortunate with the weather at Whistler Creekside with heavy snow postponing her opening outing in the super combined and a lack of light hampering her in the super-G.
Adverse conditions returned to haunt Alcott on Wednesday as again heavy snow and then thick fog forced race officials to cancel the second run of the giant slalom.
Alcott – who has finished 11th, 13th and 20th in the super combined, downhill and super-G respectively so far – was ranked 25th after posting a time of 1:17.53minutes during her first run.
But her ambitions of breaking into the top 20 had to be put on hold as conditions became too dangerous – leaving Alcott frustrated at being made to wait once again in Whistler.
“I made a couple of mistakes during my first run but I went out hard with the intent on getting the best finish possible,” said Alcott.
“I was pretty pleased with my time considering the conditions. It seemed to get worse and worse for a few of the guys it is just frustrating I have to wait again.
“I believe I am in a good position ahead of the second and I would have liked to have got it done but I will try my best as ever when it restarts.
“If I can finish 15th or 20th that would be a great move up for me and I would be pleased with that.”
Alcott admits to her best events being behind her in Whistler and currently sits 2.41seconds behind Austrian Elisabeth Goergl who leads at the halfway stage.
The 29-year-old was aided in her pursuit of gold during the opening run on Wednesday with two-time Olympic medallist Lindsay Vonn one of 18 to fall foul of the difficult conditions and fail to finish.
