Just 4 days before the 2010 Winter Olympics begin, the site of the Olympic half pipe competition is in serious need of snow. Officials have already cut the training days from 5 down to 3 and have been dumping snow via helicopter. The first half pipe competition is set for February 17 and so far no plans have been made to change the venue.
Only four athletes have ever won medals at both the Winter and Summer Olympic Games: Eddie Eagan (USA - Bobsleigh/Boxing), Jacob Thams (Norway - Ski Jumping/Sailing), Christa Luding (Germany - Long Track Speed Skating/Track Cycling) and Clara Hughes (Canada - Long Track Speed Skating/Cycling).
No Winter Olympian has ever won four gold medals in the same event.
