Lee Hee-beom, president of the Pyeongchang organizing committee, said the International Olympic Committee has made it very clear that the Feb. 9-25 games will go ahead as scheduled. “There is no Plan B,” Lee said, speaking at the birthplace of the ancient Olympics shortly after the last rehearsal for Tuesday’s official flame-lighting ceremony. “We know that the world is watching the current geopolitical situation on the Korean peninsula,” he said. “We continue to work very closely with all the relevant authorities and stakeholders to ensure we can deliver a safe and secure games for everyone involved.” Lee said that all competition and non-competition venues are complete. He said infrastructure works, including high-speed rail and highways, are already done and will be fully operational by December. Lee added that his main concern for the games is the weather, and told The Associated Press that artificial snow will be provided if needed. In the rehearsal among the ruined temples and sports facilities of Ancient Olympia in southern Greece, a Greek actress playing the part of an ancient priestess offered a token prayer to the old pagan gods of the site. It was the traditional appeal for fire from heaven to light the Olympic flame, using a bowlshaped mirror to focus the sun’s rays on her torch. For a few fraught minutes, it looked as if Apollo and Zeus would not oblige. The priestess shifted position, walked around the mirror and tried again. On the third attempt, the sun slipped out from behind clouds for long enough to light the torch, which will serve as a back-up if Tues- day’s ceremony is overcast, as forecast. Lee was delighted, saying that Pyeongchang also won the games on its third bid, and said he isn’t really concerned whether it rains Tuesday. “Lighting the torch is important, the date is not so much important,” he said. Tuesday’s first torchbearer will be Greek skier Apostolos Aggelis. He will then pass the torch to former Manchester United soccer player Park Ji-sung, a South Korean. The flame will be carried around Greece before reaching South Korea on Nov. 1. The South Korean leg of the relay will involve 7,500 torchbearers, who will cover a total 2,018 kilometers. Lee said that the torch relay and accompanying events should help boost ticket sales. He said that about 30 percent of tickets have been sold domestically, and international sales are at about 50 percent of the target. “We will be able to achieve full stadia,” Lee said. “Koreans are late decision-makers.” “SkiMo” registration open Utah Olympic Park SATURDAY NIGHT, OCTOBER 28 PRIZE GIVEAWAYS THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT LIVE BAND: RAGE AGAINST THE SUPREMES SPACE IS LIMITED SO GET THERE EARLY OPEN DAILY 10 AM-1 AM 435.615.1618 352 MAIN ST. Registration for the Park City Ski Mountaineering Team, based at Utah Olympic Park, is now open. The program starts on Dec. 12 and is open to skiers ages 12 and up. Program and registration information can be found at Utah OlympicLeagacy.org. A timed racing event, ski mountaineering, or “SkiMo,” follows an established trail where the skier negotiates diverse alpine terrain while passing a series of check points. Ski mountaineering is truly a multi-sport discipline, combining the endurance of a Nordic skier with the skill and strength of an alpine skier. “Ski Mo has been added as an Olympic Sport and now is the time to develop and expose young athletes to the sport,” said Nina Silitch, program manager for Ski Mountaineering. Founded by Silitch, the Park City Ski Mountaineering Team provides an opportunity for skiers to practice ski mountaineering skills and compete in the Wasatch region, while fostering a passion for the sport. The curriculum includes skill-specific development including uphill, downhill and technical travel on snow; sport-specific fitness development through drills and exercises; and sport education that focuses on avalanche and safe travel techniques in the backcountry, nutrition, mental training and year-long training plans. The team is open to participants ages 14 and up with an intermediate to advanced ski background. As head coach, Silitch has been competing at the world cup level for more than eight years. She is the first North American to medal in the sport, winning two historic gold medals on the World Cup circuit as well as silver at the World Championships in 2012. Silitch is one of the founders and former president of the Chamonix Ski Mountaineering Team in France. She coached and helped develop many athletes become members of the French national team who also won medals at both World Championship and World Cup races. She recently relocated to Park City to help grow the sport of ski mountaineering in the U.S., with a particular focus on youth. Exclusive. Strategic. Refined.
