I'm so done with the f-ing Olympics. They're just a vast marketing scam that countries and cities buy into -- often acting against the wishes of their own people. The cities that host them see more negative impact than positive; and, frankly, the coverage is boring.

After the last fiasco in Brazil, I was hoping it would drive a spike into the heart of the old relic -- maybe the tremendous loss on the investments in Tokyo will help it end . The summer games are the only ones any mass audience really cares about anymore, true?

Not if you're in a wintry country.

2018 super g was an amazing contest, I was able to download it after the fact, very enjoyable, from what I read it wasn't very good live.
