MAN CARRYING SKIS STORY: Olympic co-host Cortina d’Ampezzo, nestled in the Dolomites, woke up on Friday (February 6) to the day of the Games’ opening ceremony, as the mountain resort prepared to play its role in staging events at the Games.     Cortina will host several competitions during the Olympics, including curling, women’s Alpine skiing and the sliding events of bobsleigh, skeleton and luge.     While the main opening ceremony will take place later on Friday at Milan’s San Siro stadium, organisers have also planned a smaller, parallel ceremony in Cortina’s town centre.
