On Day 11 of the Milan Cortina Olympics, Canadian athletes are poised to compete, aiming to increase the country’s medal tally. However, inclement weather has caused significant disruptions, delaying key freestyle skiing events. The women's big air final had to be postponed due to a blizzard, and now a snowstorm has forced officials to postpone the men’s freestyle ski aerial qualifications as well.

Marion Thénault is the only Canadian participant in the women’s competition, having competed in previous events. The men's qualifications are especially notable with four Canadian athletes—Émile Nadeau, Irving Lewis, Miha Fontaine, and Victor Primeau—looking to secure spots in the finals. This weather turn is frustrating for both athletes and officials, as they navigate the challenges of hosting outdoor events amid unpredictable conditions.

This situation underscores the broader challenges the Olympics face with the effects of climate and unpredictable weather patterns, raising questions related to future winter games planning. Organizers and fans alike are hopeful for clearer skies soon, as competitions proceed, and the athletes strive to bring home more medals for Canada.
