“Following the Olympics, I will restore it to its first point out.” An alpine ski stadium built on Mount Gariwangsan in Jeongseon, Gangwon-do, in spite of wonderful opposition at the time of the Pyeongchang Wintertime Olympics.
It was created on the basis of a restoration, but as the restoration program was delayed, a substantial amount of money of land was missing through a modern significant rain.
There are problems that much more harm could be caused if left as is.

◀ Report ▶
The very long slopes of the ski slopes are carved out.
Massive and compact rocks beneath the earth’s surface area ended up exposed as they had been.
A two-meter diameter drain pipe buried less than the slope was also dented.
The alpine ski stadium where by the Olympic Video games had been held four many years in the past.
Due to the fact the 9th of past thirty day period, 250 millimeters of rain have fallen for 3 times and the soil and silt have poured on to the lender at the bottom of the slope.
This is a type of embankment that was built soon after a flood in a personal home less than the slope in 2018.
Because of to major rain during this major rain, the terrain on the slope was pushed to the highway outside of and the embankment was designed greater.
There is issue that slightly much more rain may have jeopardized the downstairs lodging.

“If it rains with very high hourly rainfall, these types of as rain in Seoul, it can be practically difficult to say for a lodge around there.”
This stadium, controversial considering that its 1st building, is a “disposable” stadium constructed on the foundation of the restoration after the Olympic Games.
However, it took 4 many years to build a restoration prepare due to the need for tourism means, etc. Meanwhile, rain injury happened twice in 2018 and this 12 months.
In unique, there is an examination according to which there is a high likelihood of erosion thanks to rain mainly because it is designed in a “drilling zone” exactly where rocks accumulate.
