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.
