The Men’s Kandahar downhill in Garmisch-Partenkirchen has been canceled after dense fog at the bottom of the course prevented the final training run, making the race ineligible under FIS rules. Officials explored an alternative plan, but the top 15 ranked racers unanimously voted against it, leading to the event’s cancellation. The decision is a disappointment for athletes, fans, and the German Ski Federation, with financial and logistical impacts. While official racing won’t take place, U.S. and Canadian athletes have been invited to train on the historic Kandahar course ahead of the World Championships in Saalbach.
