OBERHOFEN, Switzerland (AP) Organizers say that two snowboard World Cup competitions scheduled in Kazan, Russia next month have been canceled for financial reasons.
The International Ski Federation said in a statement Monday that a snowboard cross event and a parallel giant slalom slated for Feb. 24-26 had both been called off.
The FIS also said it was working with the Russian Snowboard Federation to look ''for possible replacement competitions in Russia on the same dates.''
