How did Greece, which is pretty goddamn poor, manage to make a bunch of modern olympic facilities, and totally revamp all the transit for the city of Athens, where Russia, which fancies itself a superpower, totally shits the bed every step of the way? Also the international response when Russia kills a bunch of their citizens trying to gas out a Chechen who looks sketchy will be interesting.

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

ShutteredIn posted:Here's the story: there are a gently caress load of stray dogs in Russia and they own and they are much better than Russian humans. They're the only living creatures in the area that don't revel in human misery, so yeah, pretty much. I poo poo you not, the Russian idea of a happy ending is "every character dies, because life is misery and now they don't have to deal with it". I'm not joking, every literature course I took went over that. EDIT: Also, you're very unlikely to find a dog wearing a tracksuit, so that's another ten thousand or so points to them.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:dont worry, they will be stopped by the unmanned metal detectors It's probably a good thing they aren't manned. With russian security's track record, I think the response to one going off would be "begin to fire indiscriminately into the crowd, claim everyone who died had a heart attack".

Don't know how it is now that they've been broke as poo poo for ages, but at the time it was one of the nicest city transit systems I'd ever used. The airport was hella modernized, too.

Are they still doing biathalon stuff? I wanted to catch that, I had a TA in college who was going to be on the USSR biathalon team before the whole collapse of the soviet union thing. They'd take him to a nearby Red Army base to work on the shooting and whatnot, it sounded pretty crazy. Motherfucker looked exactly like David Bowie, too, it was uncanny.

raditts posted:I'll admit that I don't know anything about Rio beyond that it's in Brazil and they did a Fast and the Furious movie there and they have a giant stone Jesus doing the "safe" motion. What's so terrible about it that it will be worse than Sochi? The people running the country are nearly as corrupt as the ones running Russia. It's also got a kidnapping industry to rival Mexico's, which really makes it a weird choice for a place to bring a shitload of tourists to.

Gypsum Fantastic posted:Hhaha yeah god forbid American media highlights anything where the US doesn't win, what I now find hilarious is how in the Summer Olympics since China now get more golds than the US it's no longer about the number of golds oh no it's about the total number of medals (bronzes apparently counting just as much) leading to a total redesign of the medal table. China only got more golds than the US in 2008, though. In 2012 the US had more gold medals, just like in every other summer olympics. You'd think China would get more mileage out of the whole "We take you from your family and force you to train constantly" thing, but nope.
