Vancouver and Climate Change. Is this the face of the Olympic Games?

There have been injuries directly related to high winds and rain followed by freezing weather. I really think the authorities in Vancouver need to assess these venues with care.

Sympathies to the Georgian delegation. This is really, really tragic.
