Summary


The 2010 Winter Olympics have everything prepared, except for snow. Whether channels all over the world are showing that there wont be even one flake of snow in the near future. They will bring some snow from higher mountains. Right now many helicopters and trucks are bringing snow down both real and fake. There is a concern that there wont be enough snow for the snowboarding and skiing events. This is the first time since 1966 that they needed to do such drastic measures. The organizers of the Olympics predict that it wont affect the performance of the athletes, but maybe they will notice the difference.
