Speaking of village idiot probably the worst person in the Putin games documentary was the Sochi mayor he kept on parroting the party line and
even seemed to believe the Olympics exposure would bring piles of tourist money to Sochi.

another good time waster are the Time videos especially seeing a grown rear end man cry like a girl doing luge or skeleton:

On Thursday when he first had to explain the eye thing, he mentioned the "NBC doctors" so I'm guessing they brought their own medical team.

And they probably know Costas and there for have given him the best medicine available.

The Brazil world cup has already run into similar problems with everything being behind schedule and over budget.

The Putin Games documentary is really brilliant and has so many great farce comedy like moments.

Like how the Russians built things such as the ski ramps without doing a site survey and also decided to build all the main complexes over a literal swamp.

There's also a giant heat wave going on the South/Southwest (aka the rich people part), and it hasn't rained in a while.

At best there will be water and electricity shortages for the year.

At worst, "Predator II".

Qatar makes sense since it will be historically accurate since it will have actual slaves running around.

I hope Hawaii puts in a bid for the 2026 winters. Hell, they have snow on some of the volcanoes and if it explodes it's an added daring feat to try and outrun the pyroclastic flow!

The medals are just positioned on tall stone step pyramids and the athletes have to race against each other as well as fighting off the locals desperate to sell the medals for scrap.

Best games ever.

Apparently all of the livestreams are like this on the CBC website - everyone's privy to the behind-the-scenes chitchat during the non-existent commercials. I doubt that it'll be as juicy during the games as during the opening (when everyone was full of anticipation), but you might want to be ready for the closing ceremony.
