    I have heard for years that CBC has great coverage and I'm now close enough to Canada that I get it. My curiosity is now piqued.

    Wonder if that has something to do with all the falls.
    That is my guess. Slushy snow.
    They probably are not those dense packed snow.
    Non of athletes blame snow as yet.

    If you blame the snow you get a positive Covid test, isolation, and terrible food.

    Probably.

    The US born athletes who are competing for China was another reason I have zero interest. One of the gals was born in California. Has for any years. She was a US citizen until a few years ago. Now she is a China citizen. Funny thing is, China does not allow duel citizenship. So she must have let her US citizenship "expire" Basically she is no longer a US citizen. But wait, there's more. She apparently is going to some ivy league college next year. Word on the news is that she is going to the school under a US citizen and not under the rules and regulations of a foreign student. Apparently some right wing groups are going to investigate it and look into what's going on. Heard all this while listening to Freedom Radio the other day. Oh, she also dodged all questions about it when asked by reporters after winning her medal. I say she should stay there.

    Nope, no interest in the chicom games.

    I watch Supercross on Saturday night.

    Olympic Fever?

    I thought they called that Covid 19.

    Piss on the entire event.

    Aside from all the political reasons not to watch, I agree the backstory/personal interest stories ruined sports coverage, even before the kneelers took over. Even in NASCAR there's such idiocy--last laps and they'll do a cut shot to a driver's wife watching the race instead of the cars on the track.
