A view of the Olympic village for the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics in Turin November 1, 2005. One hundred days before the start of the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics, building sites block the roads that criss-cross the Alps, workers are digging up town squares, and empty concrete shells are waiting to be turned into souvenir shops. Turin's organising committee, TOROC, has proudly declared that construction of the Olympic venues, such as the ski jumps, the bobsleigh track and cross-country loop, is almost finished.
