How the hell did Russia convince the IOC they could hold the winter olympics? I'm assuming massive bribes, but is there a technical reason?

Honestly, though, I don't know what we could expect from the type of people that wear tracksuits everywhere.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:front row seat to another classic winter event This way you can stare down the person using what I'm assuming is the only working toilet in the hotel while you and three other people wait your turn. In America, a public toilet like that would be smeared with poo poo, clogged with toilet paper, and soaked with piss. This is just clever planning on the Russian part. Like the side by side toilets, a total lack of privacy ensures cleanliness.

So there is totally going to be at least an attempted terrorist attack on this thing, right? Apparently they still have to sell about 1/3rd of the tickets to it.

The accommodations ARE the terrorist attack.

Well the Russians are spending more than 2 billion to stop one so the threat already caused an economic terrorist attack. Edit: An Infographic!

I figure they gave Russia the Olympics because the dudes at the council or whatever they use to choose, are going to get laid by cheap hookers looking for the promise of a better life.
