The women's World Cup downhill at Crans-Montana has been pushed back from Saturday until Sunday because of heavy snow in the Swiss Alps, organisers confirmed.

Snowfall of 50cm since Friday has made it impossible for organisers to clear the piste in time for the race.

The downhill will replace Sunday's super-combined race which has been cancelled.

A slalom will also take place on Monday in the Swiss resort, in place of the race cancelled in Maribor with US star Mikaela Shiffrin set to return from a knee injury which has sidelined her since December.
