Ebba Årsjö is set to compete in the Paralympics downhill race, but the event may be cancelled due to poor slope conditions. High temperatures have melted snow, leading to the cancellation of the third and final training session to preserve the piste. The alpine national team coach Joel Åkerström says the slope now looks good after efforts to remove unevenness, but weather conditions could still prevent the race.
Åkerström indicates that if there are too many uneven spots that freeze, making the surface too hard, it could be problematic for Årsjö, who has a painful leg. He states it is up to Årsjö to decide if the conditions are runnable, and he will recommend running but not force her. Årsjö herself expresses no doubt about competing.
