The opening women's combined race of the World Cup season was called off after the first of the two legs on Friday because of fog.

The organisers decided to switch the order and hold the slalom leg first and the Super G second as a fog known locally as the Maloja Schlange hung over the course.

The slalom went ahead but the fog failed to clear and the International Ski Federation (FIS) cancelled the Super G part of the race.

American Mikaela Shiffrin, last year's overall World Cup winner, led after the slalom leg by 0.39 seconds from Wendy Holdener of Switzerland.
