A snowstorm disrupted Olympic events in Livigno, Italy, on Tuesday. All competitions scheduled for the day were reportedly postponed due to heavy snowfall that began on Monday and continued overnight. According to local reports, the city woke up to a full-scale snowstorm, causing traffic disruptions and some bus cancellations.
The women's big air final was delayed on Monday due to weather, and on Tuesday, the women's and men's ski jumping qualifications were postponed throughout the morning before being canceled entirely. The women's snowboard slopestyle final was also rescheduled. The men's big air final, featuring Swedish debutant Martin Nordqvist, was planned for the evening.
Nordqvist, 22, from Kiruna, qualified for his first Olympic final after setting a personal best in the qualifiers, but reportedly struggled in the final, missing his first two landings and finishing last among twelve competitors. The snowfall intensified during the competition, making conditions difficult. Swedish freeskiers Henrik Harlaut, Jesper Tjäder, and Oliwer Magnusson were absent from the final due to injuries, with Nordqvist seen as a future star for Sweden.
