It was only a matter of time until the weather became an even bigger issue in the Olympics and in Day 10 that would happen. A weather front would move in to Sochi creating fog in many of the mountain courses. For the second time in two days the Men’s Biathlon 15km Mass Start would be postponed to the next day while the Men’s Snowboard Cross would be cancelled and moved to Day 11. It has been a big story from before the Olympics began as the warm weather of Sochi would be a concern for many.

Olympic athletes are a special breed of athlete as they are nowhere close to the same as the professional athletes. In fact they are many times better than professional athletes because these athletes must work through so much more to get to the top. For professional athletes he love of the sport starts their careers at a young age but eventually the fact that they can make a living with their love takes over. It eventually becomes the motivation for many of the pro athletes as they still love the sport but the money takes over.
