2020/2021 Olympics

I know it only feels like half a year since the last Olympics.... oh wait, it is!

I don't think it's worth it's own thread, but the 2022 Olympics are tomorrow.

It's sort of karmic that China is getting the pandemic winter games. It might not be as bad as Tokyo, but it's still closed to the public and no crowds.

That I totally agree on. Can you imagine what mind-blowing tech/performances they'll have?
I hope they make some Japanese pop culture references like they did for the closing ceremonies for Rio.

Yes, fingers crossed

The Beijing Olympics has become notorious for its fake snow, so when it actually snowed, it caused chaos (msn.com)
Bwhahaha
Kinda reminds me of when they had Sochi Olympics in a village which virtually gets no natural snow.

I just ordered a 3 pack of JVC VHS tapes and about to unwrap one and put in in the VCR so I can record the Olympic Games. When do they start?

Goes to show that once you take the pros out of the Olympics, it's anyone's game.

‘I hate this sport!’: Rage, teen tears and Olympic collapse (msn.com)

The gold medalist said she felt empty. The silver medalist pledged never to skate again. The favorite left in tears without saying a word.

That pretty much sums it up.
