Steady snow forced a one-day postponement to the women's freeski halfpipe final, the last Winter Olympic event due to take place in the Alpine town of Livigno, Italy, organizers said.
The event was moved from Saturday evening (1:30 p.m. ET) to Sunday morning (4:40 a.m. ET).

Snow fell for several hours throughout men's ski cross, which limited visibility and slowed skiers on the slopes. Livigno is located in northern Italy near the border with Switzerland.
China's Eileen Gu, a San Francisco native, is set to defend her gold medal in the halfpipe when the event gets underway. Other top contenders include qualifiers leader Zoe Atkin of Britain and China's Li Fanghui.
Winter weather has upended the Olympics schedule several times during the Milan Cortina Games, which are set to conclude with the Closing Ceremony on Sunday.
In the men's halfpipe, competitors had to compete in a qualifying round on Friday morning followed by the final in the evening. The original plan was for the rounds to be held on different days.
