Personally I wish they'd just go away. Feels like the only reason we still have this is so people can get rich making back room deals and to give companies a huge advertising medium.
They are what they are.
What I love about them... In Australia, If you're a gay man wanting to hook up, Goto the gym when the swimming events are on! Straight Aussies love the swimming stuff, and they won't be present. Gays treat it as a costume competition.
If you want to do something freaky, Goto a bar after the rowing. Rowing isn't really a thing. They don't even need to wear Lycra. But still, everyone has freaky sex after watching the rowing.
If you want disappointing sex, go on Grindr during the gymnastics.
I'm not into snowboarding at all, BUT the wipeouts are fantastic. I don't think another sport has 50% of athletes messing up and falling on their ass. I don't know which event it's called, but the one where they ride down, do some balancing on rails and then 3-4 big jumps porbably had a clean success rate of 25% tops. Almost everyone screwed up somehow.As far as Winter Olympics go, I love the DH, GS and all snowboard events, especially the Cross events. The wipeouts are crazy!
At least the ponytail is feminine.I think the original intent of the Games was to set aside differences while coming together to compete in a neutral setting. I agree the heavy commercial interest makes this very not neutral.
Kind of the same for cities competing to host the games and dumping tax payer money into infrastracture hoping The Olympics will somehow be a stimulus to their local economy.
It is also twisted by politics when any nation wants to pump their athletes full of drug cocktails to win just to prove their country's supposed superiority.

Ive never even seen snow lol....and next to the average visitor we get, I look like a damn wizard out there, on a snowboard. It's what living in a ski town for 10 years will do. Next to an Olympian, I wouldn't land a single one of those big jumps, and it would be a miracle if I survived a whole course.
New Zealand has some good skiing. Not too far away for a week getaway?Ive never even seen snow lol.
I bought a Groupon once to try curling at the local ice skating place, and and the dude kept telling me I wasn't sweeping enough.
I was all "b****! I'm an apprentice hairdresser! All I do is sweep for 40 hours a week!"
There was a free pie afterwards. Worst. Date. Ever.
Yeah, and it's dirt cheap compared to going to the snow here too.New Zealand has some good skiing. Not too far away for a week getaway?
