Summary
The women's 10km + 10km Skiathlon cross-country skiing event in Val di Fiemme, Italy was disrupted by Italian men catcalling and making lewd comments from the sidelines. Officials described it as a 'relentless barrage of unwelcome yelling' that distracted competitors and rattled athletes unaccustomed to such behavior during competition. Hundreds of local men showed up specifically to leer, make kissy faces, and shout inappropriate comments at the female skiers as they raced across the terrain.
