They promised us the 'most sustainable Games ever'. What we're getting is a logistical nightmare spread across 22,000 square kilometres, a reliance on artificial snow that borders on farce, and a men's downhill course that might just be too dangerous to ski.
It was supposed to be the sensible, sustainable Olympics. Instead, the road to Milano Cortina has been paved with budget blowouts, political ego, and a bobsled track that nobody actually needed. Are we witnessing a miracle or a disaster in slow motion?
