Earlier today, Wikinews interviewed Spanish para-alpine LW2 clasffied skier Úrsula Pueyo during a delay in the slalom event at the IPC Alpine World Championships at La Molina, Spain. Pueyo is the only woman on the Spanish 2013 World Championship team, and was the only female Spanish standing skier at the 2010 Winter Paralympics. Following the interview, event organizers announced the slalom had been cancelled for the day due to high winds and was rescheduled for tomorrow.
((Wikinews)) : Hello, we are with Úrsula Pueyo. Today is the slalom race. What are your sensations for the day? 
((WN)) : Right, because the weather today is giving us a surprise... Let's hope you can compete later. 
((WN)) : How do you see yourself for Sochi [Winter Paralympics Games of 2014], in this last event before it? 
((WN)) : You're the only woman in the Spanish team. Is that an issue ever for you? Is it different, challenging, being the only woman? Is gender an issue in women's skiing? 
((WN)) : Do you think the level of the women's skiing is the same level as the men's? 
((WN)) : Thank you very much!
