Zhangjiakou (China) (AFP) - Californian-born Chinese sensation Eileen Gu's bid for a second gold medal at the Beijing Games was held up Sunday when women's freeski slopestyle qualification was postponed a day because of heavy snow.
Elsewhere at the Games, the second of three training runs for the women's downhill was cancelled.
Freestyle skier Gu, who won the women's Big Air title in her Olympic debut last week, is also competing in the freeski slopestyle and halfpipe events in Zhangjiakou, about 180 kilometres (110 miles) northwest of Beijing.
Slopestyle qualification will now start at 10:00am (0200 GMT) on Monday.
The final has also been pushed back a day and will start at 9:30am on Tuesday.
The training run for women's downhill skiing at the National Alpine Skiing centre in Yanqing, north of Beijing, had been scheduled for 11:00 am Sunday.
"Due to the snowfall the jury together with the organiser have decided to cancel today's women's downhill training," it was announced.
It had been due to be held between the two legs of a medal event, the men's giant slalom.
The first run of the giant slalom did go ahead.
Female racers have a third training run scheduled for Monday, with the downhill proper due on Tuesday.
