The ongoing adverse weather conditions in Livigno have prompted organizers of the Milan Cortina Olympics to make last-minute adjustments to event schedules. The men’s freestyle skiing aerials qualifying event, initially set for Tuesday and rescheduled for Thursday, has been moved to Friday. The qualifying round will start at 10:30 a.m. followed by the final at 1:30 p.m. This alteration marks another instance where organizers have had to adapt to changing weather patterns affecting the timely execution of Olympic events.

Furthermore, the men’s free ski halfpipe qualifying event originally scheduled for Thursday has also been postponed. Organizers are still hopeful for improved conditions to allow the women’s qualifying, which remains on the agenda for Thursday evening at 7:30 p.m. The uncertainty surrounding the men’s halfpipe qualifiers leaves the Olympic schedule in a state of flux, emphasizing the challenges athletes and organizers face in such weather-dependent sports.

As the Olympics continue, events like the men’s and women’s freestyle ski cross remain planned for Friday and Saturday. However, heavy snowfall and low visibility conditions pose significant risks for both athletes and staff involved, leading to critical decisions regarding safety and event viability in Livigno, which is integral to the Milan Cortina Olympic Games.
