What.
So far, so lurid, but there is science behind the allegations.
Research from the scientific journal, Frontiers, published last October said that a 2cm change in a suit represented an extra 5.8 meters in the length of a jump.

What.
In this instance, I think I'm OK not trying.
If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying.
From @theathletic.com: Reports have surfaced before the Winter Olympics that allege ski jumpers are injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid to fly farther. The World Anti-Doping Agency has vowed to investigate.

I don't like it. I can respect her choice, but it doesn't mean what she's doing is a good idea in any way, shape, or form. Hell, her winning doesn't mean it was a good idea.
And it doesn't mean that a pitcher should start Game 7 of the World Series after finding out he needs Tommy John surgery.

The way that so many people are glorifying Linsday Vonn is really upsetting to me in a way I don't have the exact words for.
She made her choice and I respect that. It's not about her doing what she's doing.
It's about people acting like this should be normalized and celebrated

If the NHL were a serious league, this would be a major penalty, an ejection, and a multi game suspension.
Instead, it was a minor penalty and the Bruins ended up shorthanded.
(I know I already pointed this out but it bears repeating.)

Charlie McAvoy has left the game following this hit from Sandis Vilmanis. Vilmanis received a two-minute illegal check to the head penalty.

Instead, refs called a minor and the Panthers ended up getting a power play.
McAvoy just got elbowed in the head. Should be a game misconduct, suspension and a hefty fine.

Elliotte Friedman said this week he thinks the NHL should move the Winter Classic to the weekend before the Super Bowl. A number this strong -- albeit for an amazing game -- only bolsters his case.
