Due to heavy snowfall in Gangneung, where the Olympics are being held, short track athlete Lee Jun-seo's 'Ice One Point' lesson, which was scheduled to be held at the Gangneung Festival outdoor ice rink at 11 a.m. on the 21st, was canceled. Short track athlete Choi Min-jung's 'Ice One Point' lesson, which was scheduled to be held at the same location the previous afternoon, was also canceled due to rain.

Scheduling is not the only problem due to weather. The night before, there was a possibility that the Olympic athletes' luggage storage tent in Yucheon-dong, Gangneung could collapse due to accumulated snow, so the fire department took action.
