Megève slalom pushed back a day to Dec. 20

THE SLALOM at Megève, France, originally scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 19, has been pushed back to Wednesday, Dec. 20. The International Ski Federation has moved back the women’s slalom 24 hours to accommodate television scheduling.
   Megève, a regular World Cup venue from 1967 to 1987, has hosted one World Cup event in the last 14 years. The last slalom to be contested in the French Alpine ski resort was in 2004, a race won by Sweden’s Anja Paerson.
    The men will compete in a noon super G in Hinterstoder, Austria, on the same Wednesday. The first run of slalom for the women will be 10:15 a.m., and the second run at 1:15 p.m.
