Women's Combined ski race moved forward

The women's combined skiing event is being pushed up a day on the PyeongChang Olympic alpine program to Thursday because Friday's weather forecast is predicting strong winds.

That means the final women's individual alpine race for 2018 Games will now share billing with the last men's individual alpine race.

Competitors include 2010 Olympic downhill champion Lindsey Vonn and two-time gold medalist Mikaela Shiffrin.

The men's slalom features Austria's Marcel Hirscher, who's trying to become only the fourth ski racer in history to win three gold medals at a single Olympics.

This is the latest in a series of adjustments to the alpine schedule because of concerns over fierce winds.

It's the third time during the Pyeongchang Games there will be a doubleheader of sorts, with one men's race and one women's race contested on the same day.
