Shaun White Troubled as Slushy Snow Brings Down Olympic Skiers

Olympic champions Shaun White and Bode Miller are among athletes who have said they’re concerned about the warm weather at the Sochi Games, where athletes have crashed on slushy snow as temperatures are forecast to reach as high as 19 degrees Celsius (66 degrees Fahrenheit) this week.

Miller -- trying to become the oldest Olympic Alpine skiing medalist -- said his chances in his next race are falling as temperatures rise. White pulled out of the slopestyle snowboarding event and failed to win a third straight halfpipe title after falling on his first run and finishing fourth.
