Snow Delays Olympic Ski Events in Livigno

Heavy snowfall in Livigno, Italy, on Thursday morning forced a significant reshuffling of the Olympic men's freestyle skiing schedule. The men's halfpipe qualifying, which included American medal hopefuls, and the men's aerials competition were postponed to Friday.

This weather disruption follows earlier schedule adjustments for snowboarding slopestyle events due to storms earlier in the week. The finals for those events were successfully held on Wednesday under clear skies. Organizers anticipate improved weather conditions for Friday and Saturday, the final days of freestyle skiing.
