KITZBUEHEL, Austria (AP) – Bode Miller’s chance for a rare sweep of five events in a season ended Saturday when a World Cup downhill was postponed because of wet snow, forcing the cancellation of the combined.

The race will be rescheduled in Kvitfjell, Norway, the International Ski Federation said. The combined adds times from Saturday’s downhill and Sunday’s slalom.

Organizers called off the Hahnenkamm downhill for the first time in 12 years but the slalom was expected to run Sunday despite predictions of poor weather.

There are only two combined events on the World Cup schedule this season. The other, a new version of the competition, was held last week in Wengen, Switzerland.

In December, Miller won a night slalom for a sweep of all four disciplines – slalom, giant slalom, super giant slalom and downhill. He did so in 16 days, the shortest span in World Cup history. Luxembourg’s Marc Girardelli swept all four over 72 days in 1988-89.

Girardelli has an edge on the American, also winning the combined event that same winter.

Miller leads the overall World Cup rankings with 1,048 points, with Austria’s Benjamin Raich next at 850.

The winner of both combined events last year – in Chamonix, France, and Kitzbuehel – Miller has had less success this time. He went out in the slalom leg of the super-combined in Wengen, a one-day race that added times from a shortened downhill to a one-leg slalom.

In addition, Miller has completed only a single slalom in five attempts this season, the race he won in Sestriere, Italy, more than a month ago.

“Based on Bode’s performance in the slalom and the terrible snow conditions here, I can’t say it’s a big loss,” U.S. men’s coach Phil McNichol said. “In fact, potentially it could more of a problem.”

If he was a little more consistent or hotter in slalom then I’d say we should push this. But it’s not like that.”

Snow, fog and rain also wiped out Friday’s super-G. The super-G tentatively has been rescheduled for this site Monday. Kvitfjell is to stage another downhill and super-G on March 5-6.
