Already Olympics events being affected..

Men's downhill race already called off because the course is too slushy.. There is no word on when the event would be rescheduled to..

According to AP reporting:
"Repeated snow, rain, fog and too-warm temperatures have turned the Olympic slopes into a soft, mushy mess too dangerous to be used for high-speed skiing. Only one of six training runs for men and women has been completed as planned"

Another story from Winnepeg Canada reporting: Warm temperatures are adding danger on the snowboard track .. Warm weather is delaying women's skiing..
