Sleds still delayed getting to Whistler for World Cup luge
WHISTLER, British Columbia — Snowy conditions have delayed a shipment of sleds and kept World Cup luge competitors off the ice.
This weekend’s World Cup luge events in Whistler, British Columbia, were adjusted again Thursday because the sleds used in last weekend’s tour stop in Lake Placid, New York, have been sidetracked by heavy snow in parts of western Canada.
The sleds aren’t expected to arrive until Friday afternoon. The men’s, women’s and doubles races are all scheduled for Saturday afternoon and evening — with one run only, instead of the usual two-run combined time format — and the team relay canceled.
