Winter Olympics Facing Climate Limits
- Climate change threatens Winter Olympics viability with nine of 21 host cities becoming too warm by 2050.
- Organizers already rely on fake snow and stockpiles to stage events in marginal climates.
Egg Overload At The Olympics
- A Korean supplier mis-translated an order and delivered 15,000 eggs to the Norwegian Olympic team instead of 1,500.
- The team received so many eggs that half a lorry full went to waste after delivery errors.
Prepare For Extreme Conditions
- Prepare equipment and competitors for extreme environmental conditions rather than assuming basics will suffice.
- Use specialised techniques and materials (like ultra-purified water layers) to control ice and snow quality for events.
