I have been glued to TV since morning watching fascinationg Winter Olympics 2010. I was hoping to watch Men’s Downhill Skiing today but turns out that it has been postponed till Monday (Feb, 15th 2010). Why? Well, the weather in Whistler hasn’t been great. The successive days of warm weather and rain have created slushy conditions on the course at Whistler Creekside.

A race that offers some of Alpine skiing’s biggest names — including Didier Cuche of Switzerland and Bode Miller of the United States — was moved from the opening weekend lineup by Vancouver Olympic organizers and the International Ski Federation early Saturday morning, more than 7 hours before its scheduled start of 11:45 a.m. local time. The officials had already postponed the first women’s event, the super-combined.

The lowest temperature overnight Friday and through Saturday was expected to be 36 degrees. Unseasonably warm weather at Whistler and Cypress Mountain has prevented the Games from gaining much early momentum. Training schedules have been limited at Cypress, site of freestyle skiing and snowboarding events, and Whistler, where Lindsey Vonn’s pursuit of three or more gold medals is stuck in the slush.

I am praying for heavy snowfall tonight!
