1998 Italia: Cortina d'Ampezzo's Olympic Stadium
19980223. At one end of the main street of Cortina lies the Olympic Stadium. It, and the ski jump found on the outskirts of town, are a source of pride to the locals. The stadium still flies the Olympic rings, and you can see the well-known pattern etched into a lamp cover, which appear every few meters around the entire stadia.
Inside the stadium, in addition to the track and bleachers, was a long skinny building. It was the evening, just after we had a fabulous dinner at the Tavernetta, and we had time to kill. My curiosity piqued, I ventured over and opened a door. A blast of cold air brushed past my face.
It was a curling practice area. A long strip of astroturf ran the length of the building, parallel to a strip of smooth ice over a pattern of circles and lines.
