ZHANGJIAKOU – The weather was a spoilsport at the Genting Snow Park, forcing the postponement of the women’s freestyle skiing aerial qualifications.

Earlier, the women’s slopestyle qualifiers also had to be postponed.

A winter storm has hit Zhangjiakou, causing snow and heavy winds that have wreaked havoc with the Olympic schedule.

Canadians Flavie Aumond, Naomy Boudreau-Guertin and Marion Thénault were expected to participate in the women’s aerials.

Thénault, 21, was on the team that won bronze in the mixed team aerials event.
