23 Января 2009 года

The second day of competition that was scheduled to take place today,Friday January 23, is postponed due to warm temperatures. These conditions are not ideal for the security of the riders.

The window is still open for the second day of competition to take place either Saturday or Sunday. In the meantime, the riders are enjoying the snow and sun…
