ST. MORITZ, Switzerland -- Fog prevented downhill racers from getting their Olympic dress rehearsal. Poor visibility on the middle section of the course forced World Cup officials to call off a mens downhill on Saturday, the last speed race before the Sochi Olympics. A womens giant slalom in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia, was also cancelled because of poor weather. The start of the race was postponed several times and pushed back more than two hours before officials finally gave up. "It was the right decision," overall and downhill World Cup leader Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway said. The fog never lifted around the middle of the already shortened Corviglia course. The downhill on Feb. 9 is the first Alpine event of the Sochi Games. A giant slalom is scheduled for Sunday in St. Moritz. The races in St. Moritz replaced the ones that had been scheduled for Garmisch-Partenkirchen but had to be called off for lack of snow in the German resort. Too much snow and fog were the problem in St. Moritz. Heavy snowfall forced the cancellation of downhill training on Friday. It still snowed on Saturday, although not that heavily, but this time fog descended on the course to force another cancellation. Svindal said the Olympics were not on his mind as he waited, in vain, for the start. "You want to win a World Cup race, you are not thinking of Sochi. Its exciting to win a World Cup race," Svindal said. With race officials constantly inspecting the course, Svindal said, they were in a better position to judge the conditions. "Its too bad but thats the way it is. The fog is moving in and out and maybe you can have one or two racers on the course and then it would have to be stopped," he said. "It wouldnt be safe and it wouldnt be fair." Allen Webster Cubs Jersey .

Grace mixed seven birdies with two bogeys during the final round Ending tied-seventh in South Carolina last year sparked a run of form which saw Grace finish inside the top-20 a further 12 times worldwide during 2015, including top-four finishes at the US Open and PGA Championship, giving him plenty of encouragement for the months ahead.Its awesome and is something I have dreamt of, Grace told Sky Sports. Ive been out here over the past couple of years and have given myself some chances, so this is great. Graces Heritage glory Final round report from the RBC Heritage I played some flawless golf, even with two bogeys, but it was a tough day out there and you just had to grind it out.This is pretty much where it (form) started last year for me, as I had my first top-10 here on the PGA Tour last year and then it just kicked off. Graces win followed a missed cut at last weeks Masters I was in a really good frame of mind coming in to this event and Im now excited to see how the year turns out.ddddddddddddDonald, who has now made six top-three finishes since 2009 in this event, was joined in a tie-for-second by Knox after the Scot posted a final-round 67.Knox broke in to the worlds top 50 with victory at last years WGC-HSBC Champions and was also a runner-up at the OHL Classic, with the 30-year-old delighted with his form ahead of a potentially busy year.Today I was thrilled, I played great all day and hit some nice putts at the end there, Knox told Sky Sports. I was happy with the way I conducted myself and the shots over the last few holes. Russell Knox now has three top-two finishes on the PGA Tour this season I played beautifully on the first day, but I just made a mess of the first couple of holes which turned a good round in to a terrible feeling.Of course winning again and the Ryder Cup are goals of mine now, but Im just trying to enjoying it. Im so fortunate to be playing in these great tournaments, so Ive just go to soak it all in and go for it.The next event on the PGA Tour is the Valero Texas Open , which youll be able to watch live throughout the week on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf Also See: Grace claims Heritage title RBC Heritage highlights Harbour Town leaderboard Golf live on Sky Sports 4 ' ' '
