  • Heavy snowfall in Livigno has caused significant disruption at the Winter Olympics, leading to the postponement of several events.
  • Men's ski halfpipe qualifying and men's aerials were delayed, with the latter rescheduled for Friday, while women's halfpipe qualifying remains on schedule.
  • This latest weather-related disruption follows earlier storms this week that also forced organisers to adjust the schedule for snowboard slopestyle and Big Air contests.
  • British athlete Kirsty Muir narrowly missed out on a medal in the Big Air final, finishing fourth for the second time in a week after a similar result in the slopestyle event.
  • Weather conditions are anticipated to improve for Friday and Saturday, which are the final two days of competition.
