are slowly coming to an end, but the problems continue. The weather is hard for athletes and organizers. On Saturday there was a team competition in alpine skiing. In the 1/8 final in the mixed competition she was supposed to appear. However, the plans were thwarted by the weather. Due to too gusty wind and extremely low temperature, the competition was moved to Sunday.
The FIS shortened the distance of the last run at the Olympics. “Pier… .ny joke!”
The weather problem also applies to other competitions. They also competed on Saturday. On this day, a run of 50 kilometers is planned. In this case, the organizers decided to handle it differently. First of all, the start of the race was delayed by an hour. Secondly, the FIS made a controversial decision to shorten the distance. A 50 kilometer run became a 28 kilometer run.

His anger was not concealed by British runner Andrew Musgrave. “FIS has just shortened the Olympic run from 50 to 28 kilometers because it’s a bit cold and windy. I don’t know how to make it warmer or less windy. What a fucking joke!” – he thundered on Twitter.
“You can run 28 kilometers, but you can’t run 50? Cancel it or postpone it. You can’t win gold for 50 kilometers when the run is 28” – these are the words of Petter Northug, legend of Norwegian races and two-time Olympic champion including the 50 km classic race.
The competition was successfully held. The gold was won by the Russian Alexander Bolshunov. The silver was collected by his compatriot Ivan Yakimushkin. The bronze went to the Norwegians to Simen Hegstad Krueger. Andrew Musgrave was 12th. Two Poles also took part in the race. Dominik Bury took 30th place, while Mateusz Haratyk finished the competition in 50th place.
