Carole Montillet leads the downhill standings

High winds forced organisers to cancel the second of the two women's World Cup
downhill races scheduled for this weekend in Spain's Sierra Nevada.
Saturday's first race was cancelled because of heavy snowfalls and poor visibility.
Organisers had delayed the start of Sunday's race by an hour in the hope that the winds would ease but were later forced to admit defeat.
There are no plans to reschedule the Sierra Nevada races because of the crowded calendar in the final
three weeks of the World Cup season.
There are two more women's downhills left on the calendar.
The
first, in Innsbruck next Saturday, was postponed from January
because of a lack of snow at the Austrian resort.
