GANGNEUNG, South Korea (Reuters) - Pyeongchang has "no time to lose" and still has a lot of work to do but the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is satisfied that the venues for the 2018 Winter Games will be ready on time.

Gunilla Lindberg, chair of the IOC's coordination committee for 2018, told reporters at a news conference in Gangneung on Thursday that there had been "big progress" since January when the IOC last visited to gauge progress.
