Velodrome dome collapses under heavy snow

Novo Mesto, 23 January - Following days of snowfall and rain, the airdome over Slovenia's only velodrome collapsed on Monday. The weight of the water and wet snow proved to much for the airdome cover, which burst before collapsing into the velodrome. The venue was empty and nobody was hurt.
