Any Olympians you've ever really disliked?

North Korean leader's sister looks like she'd rather sit on a spike as the US team walked out...

I really don’t understand his issue with what happened unless I am missing something. It makes so little sense that it makes me think that there must be more to the story that I’m not seeing.

Who does the initial vote? Isn’t it his fellow Olympians?

He had said that since it is Black History Month he should have been given the honor.

Yeah, I’m out on this Shani Davis character. What a tool.

Gonna be tough to skate in that speed suit with his mangina showing. As far as I'm concerned, kick him off the team. Don't want to go to the opening ceremony, scheiss you.

Rio

I mean, in 1994 there wasn't a bigger heel in sports than Tonya Harding, was there?

I always felt a little sorry for her. Her nude photo thing was a good example of hitting bottom

Might have been the husband that provided it to someone.

Ice dancing blows.
I like doubles figure skating, where they jump and lift and toss.
This is boring.

What's the deal with the Russians?
They're insisting on being called the Olympic Athletes from Russia, instead of just Russia. So if you see "OAR", it's Russia .

It's not their choice.

Russia was banned from competing in these Olympics because of the state-sponsored doping especially as it pertains to the Sochi Olympics. However, since that's not necessarily the athletes' fault, those who are able to prove they've been clean are being allowed to participate under this name.

Russia wasn’t allowed to send their team, so their athletes have to compete as individuals.

 

[Chongo94]

so who pays for the russian athletes to be able to participate if they can not represent the country of russia?

I think the IOC set up a fund for them, but I could be way way off. Considering the USOC basically contributes squat to our athletes I probably am way off but I thought I read that somewhere a few weeks ago.

Gotcha.
Sad state of affairs.

Crazy documentary on Netflix about the Russian doping system with the doctor who basically oversaw it.
