Good point...the ice archery event was the last event of the Games, so the Princesses did not need their magic.

Besides, even though we do see Celestia and Luna fly up to help Rainbow and the Pegasi, they avoided using their magic since with Rainbow and all the Pegasi underneath the cloud, they could have injured the Pegasi, or caused collateral damage to the stadium.

They just supervised off-camera and retreated when Spike stepped in on instinct.
