Beyond screwing up the accommodations, they have royally ruined the Snowboard Slopestyle course (the first time the event has been held in the Olympics)
The course is so dangerous and so poorly built that Torstein Horgmo who was one of the favorites to win already broke his collarbone in practice, another one was taken off the course on a stretcher, and Shaun White who was obviously the overall favorite just dropped out because the course is too dangerous after almost breaking his wrist yesterday.
I've mentioned this on here before, but I've worked professionally in snowboarding and with pro snowboarders for years, and I see up close and personal the ridiculous, dangerous stuff they are more than willing to do on a daily basis, so if these guys are sketched out by this course, then it is really really really bad.
