- Story Text:With three days left of competition, Olympic host city Cortina d’Ampezzo was on Friday (February 20) covered in snow and municipal crews were out early clearing roads and walkways.
On Thursday (February 19), the Alpine town saw heavy snowfall which caused some problems in traffic. But with all downhill skiing events already completed, the snowfall did not affect the remaining bobsleigh or curling training sessions and competitions.
Forecasters said clouds would give way to brighter spells over the weekend.
The Games are scheduled to close on Sunday evening (February 22) when the Olympic cauldron in central Cortina will be extinguished.
