I would really love to see figure skating with a buff woman throwing a twink guy twirling around.

Has there ever been anything like that or same-sex pairs?

Or at least make the male skaters wear booty shorts.

The sport has evolved for man-woman pairs. It would take some effort to adapt the current standard moves for other combinations of skaters. It may well have been done before by someone, but not at the Olympics.

I would totally watch that though.

The need for aerodynamic excellence trumps gay stuff. Booty shorts? Thats just window dressing for men who are a bit light in the loafers if you know what I mean.

Everyone in the winter Olympics is from a rich family. Poor people can't afford the expense that comes with pretty much every winter Olympic sport.

So I was reading about this, and this was a deliberate decision by the guy that won. He was some joker from Australia who was like 'hrm, people frequently wipe out in the short race, if I hang out back I won't get caught up in the pileup.'

In the prelims someone false started out and he made it to the finals. That is the final race that you see above. First and (I think) only winter olympics medal for Australia.

That's understandable, Australia as a whole is flat as hell. It does have some (not particularly tall) mountains in the south though.

Australia's first medal was a bronze in 1994. Steven Bradbury was the first gold, as depicted in that glorious GIF. The second came along the next day or so in the aerials.

Australia's all-time Winter Olympics tally stands at 5 golds, two silvers and three bronze. :eng101:
