Explore the latest developments concerning Women's freeski halfpipe.
Steady snow forced a one-day postponement to the women's freeski halfpipe final, the last Winter Olympic event due to take place in the Alpine town of Livigno, Italy, organizers said.
The event was moved from Saturday evening (1:30 p.m. ET) to Sunday morning (4:40 a.m. ET).
Snow fell for several hours throughout men's ski cross, which limited visibility and slowed skiers on the slopes. Livigno is located in northern Italy near the border with Switzerland.
China's Eileen Gu, a San Francisco native, is set to defend her gold medal in the halfpipe when the event gets underway. Other top contenders include qualifiers leader Zoe Atkin of Britain and China's Li Fanghui.
Curling, yes curling, was delayed Thursday by bad weather conditions in Cortina, Italy.
Heavy snow has repeatedly pushed back a number of Winter Olympic events this week — not an uncommon byproduct of holding outdoor sporting events during the winter.
The men's aerials competition had been scheduled for Thursday morning but will now be held on Friday. Men's freeski halfpipe qualifiers was also taken off the schedule. Freestyle ski was pushed back to later in the day.
The start of Thursday's women's curling matches were pushed back nearly 30 minutes. The indoor event had to be delayed because teams struggled to get to the venue on time because of the snow.

Australia's last medal hope at the Milano Cortina Winter Games, Indra Brown, was forced to wait a little longer for her crack at a maiden Olympic podium finish.
Heavy and consistent snowfall in Livigno meant that the women's freeski halfpipe was moved from its original time of 5:30am AEDT to 8:40pm Sunday evening, with organisers unable to "prepare the pipe in a safe and fair condition".

Arsenal will get a sense of deja vu in Wednesday's Champions League play-off round first leg as they run out to face OH Leuven in Belgium.
This was the fixture with which Renee Slegers' side wrapped up their league phase campaign with a 3-0 win back in December, so it is little wonder they are strong favourites to advance in this two-legged tie and to the quarterfinals where Chelsea await.
Slegers, whose side come into the match on the back of their FIFA Champions Cup success and a win over WSL leaders Manchester City, is preaching humility to ensure there is no slip-up.

Chloe Kelly made her first start since a knee injury sustained in November and helped herself to an assist. She spoke in the mixed zone post-match, the question in italics is from Arseblog News.
On her thoughts on the game…
We are feeling very good and we are building momentum together as a team. A good display tonight, but we know it’s only half time. There’s gonna be another tough test next week. Amazing to see the stadium full and to play against a top Leuven side. We knew we had to be at our best tonight and to be clinical inside the box and we’re ruthless in both boxes, so I think we put on a good display today.

Perth Glory Women's coach Stephen Peters has criticised a lack of investment in the women's A-League, calling for more funds.
In recent years, the Glory's women's side has been Perth's saving grace, as the men's team suffered back-to-back wooden-spoon finishes.
A new report has found the women's A-League is losing ground to global leagues and rival domestic sports despite strong international interest.
Perth Glory Women's coach Stephen Peters has criticised a lack of investment in the women's A-League, which he says has not reaped the benefits of the Matildas' success at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.
The PFA’s new strategy ‘is not doom and gloom’, rather it hopes to serve as a springboard for investment and offer an opportunity to grow the game
In 2015, Elise Kellond-Knight was part of the Matildas squad that took history-making strike action, paving the way for a decade of increased investment that saw the team rise to prominence and Australia secure hosting rights for the 2023 Women’s World Cup and this year’s Women’s Asian Cup. Now, with that continental showpiece less than two months away, the retired midfielder sees the women’s game in Australia at another Rubicon moment, one requiring bold investment in the future of a fully professional A-League Women.

Anna Bondar came through a tough qualifying draw and will arrive at this match with confidence.

Rust should not be a factor for Bucsa who should have enough to get past Bondar.
