The men's World Cup super-G event at Courchevel has been cancelled due to heavy snow and fog, the International Ski Federation said on Saturday.

Another super-G will be raced on Sunday and is the penultimate event before the final super-G race in Norway in two weeks time.

"Due to heavy snowfall, fog and the weather forecast, the organisers have decided to cancel the super-G," the FIS said.

Marco Odermatt leads the standings with 425 points. Austria's Vincent Kriechmayer is second at 158pts with a tight pack close behind him, including Franjo Von Allmen, who won three gold medals at the Milan-Cortina Olympics.

The 28-year-old Odermatt won two Olympic silvers and bronze in Bormio last month, missing out on the golds, but won the overall World Cup title for a fifth consecutive time on Friday.
