Billionaires and Athletes Freeze as Winter Smacks Olympics

Freezing Temperatures Spare No One at Olympic Games

It ain’t the Game of Thrones, but these Olympics are being lashed by a winter that’s proving a little too cold for comfort.

With temperatures dipping to as low as minus 25 degrees Celsius, the games in South Korea are poised to be the coldest in two decades. The freezing weather, combined with wind gusts of more than 45 miles an hour at some venues, has delayed three alpine skiing competitions and fueled concerns over the safety and performance of athletes. It’s also not sparing the throngs of spectators and other celebrities at the event in Pyeongchang.
