Really enjoying watching the Winter Olympics, but damn the Aussie-centric parochial production of Channel 9 is really trying its hardest to ruin it. Every Aussie athlete is seemingly getting a full over-produced biopic, and so much air time is wasted on commentators, just let us watch the action!

I haven't watch much Olympics yet, but in nearly event I've seen, there's been at least one competitor who missed events 4 years ago because they tested positive for COVID. Imagine working so hard to qualify for the Olympics, and that happens. It would be foolish for them *not* to mask.

The Haitian delegation is now in good company in terms of the suppression of images on their uniforms.
The International Olympic Committee has told a Ukrainian skeleton athlete he cannot wear a helmet that commemorates the lives of Ukrainian athletes lost since Russia’s invasion in competition at the Winter Games, saying it breaks Olympic rules on neutrality.

Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych wears a helmet honoring over 650 Ukrainian athletes and coaches killed in russia’s invasion.
The IOC banned it as "political," but Ukraine’s Olympic Committee argues it’s a tribute, not a statement.
