POWER TIP
Winter Games Enhanced
We've updated Google Earth and Google Local with high resolution
imagery of the area surrounding Torino, Italy, home of the 2006 Winter
Games. With Google Earth installed, click on the KMZ file for Olympic
Venues, which will load placemarks for all the major sites at the
Games. To really appreciate the scenery, be sure to enable the Terrain
layer and take advantage of the tilt view control in Google Earth:
We've also generated street maps for Torino, which are available in the
Google Maps API for those of you interested in creating Winter Games
mashups.

I was looking over that area a few days ago and it is very detailed. Some areas however they missed like the Luge track (still just pixelated green blob).
