This was supposed to be the big coming-out party of Chairman-for-life Xi with his 100-year-old Communist Party. Instead, it’s turning out to be a massive faceplant and it’s hurting both NBC and the game’s advertisers. for an Olympics Even Putin can’t be bothered to stay awake for the ‘excitement’ of it all.
China’s Wuhan Wheezer boomeranged just in time for many Olympic hopefuls to find themselves quarantined in horrible conditions. By comparison, photos of the food visiting athletes have been given there make Michelle Obama’s nightmarish lunch program look like it had been designed by Jamie Oliver.
But conditions in isolation are reportedly dire. Valeria Vasnetsova, a Russian biathlete, claims she was served the same inedible meal three times a day for five days in a row – and that it left her so emaciated that her ‘bones [were] sticking out’.
Head of German team Dirk Schimmelpfennig also blasted ‘unacceptable’ conditions for his athletes, saying isolation rooms are too small, not hygienic enough, the food is poor and PCR tests that athletes must take to free themselves are not being given.
Natalia Maliszewska, a Polish speed skater, described being repeatedly moved into and out of quarantine over successive days due to conflicting Covid test results, an experience she described as a ‘trauma’ that left her ‘crying and crying’.

Not everyone born here is a natural born citizen.
The children of foreigners were who the founders were excluding because they are born with the nationality of their parent(s).
Natural born citizens are naturally citizens because they have only ONE nationality.
Olympics? What Olympics?
Democrat scum and their Chinese allies.
I have zero amount of sympathy for these athletes. These are the same idiots that would've gotten on TV defending the Chinese communist and now they're paying the price. It makes me happy all the way around.
These young fools wanted a communist utopia and now they're getting it - hard. I doubt that the ignorant, one-trick-pony athletes are smart enough to make the connection. Let's just say that when you train every day then you don't have a lot of time for reading or education.
The Bee of course offered up a summation of events.
The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics have begun! Elite athletes from all over the globe have descended upon China to find out who will have the honor of being blacklisted for suggesting China is a dictatorship that is actively committing genocide. We haven’t seen an Olympiad this tense since Jesse Owens beat Adolf Hitler in a foot race back in 1936.
To make matters more complicated, several new events have been introduced to take advantage of the Chinese locale.
Here are just a few of the new games Beijing is adding to the mix this year:
1) Uyghur Luge: Competitors slide down the side of a mountain on a live Uyghur prisoner. Radical!
2) Uyghur Biathlon: Exactly like the standard Ski and Shoot Biathlon, but you shoot Uyghurs.
3) Competitive Virus Making: A competitor from Wuhan is the current favorite.
4) Men’s Cross Country Lab Leak: A companion event to Competitive Virus Making. Athletes are judged on time and plausible deniability.
5) iPhone Factory Roof Diving: Featuring celebrity judge Tim Cook of Apple!
6) Social Credit Scoring: But if you lose you get shot.
7) Winnie the Pooh Lookalike Competition: This is just one part of a larger Pooh Triathalon. Features a honey eating contest and slalom race.
8) Mixed Doubles Soup Rationing: Male and female teammates see how long they can make one bowl of soup last between them. Points are deducted for dying.
9) Women’s Vanishing Tennis: A variant on mixed couples. But you get shot.
10) Synchronized Censorship: Work in harmony to make popular Hollywood films even better!
11) Men’s Snowboard: It’s like waterboarding, but with snow.
12) Women’s Downhill Sterilization: Not to be confused with Women’s Sterilization Jump.
13) Bobsled Across Border To Freedom: It’s like the standard bobsled event. But you get shot.
14) Kneeling Before President Xi (On Ice!): Half figure skating, half oppression, all fun!
15) Men’s Short Track Celebration Of The Centenary Of The Great And Glorious Chinese Communist Party Looking Toward The Bright Prospects For The Rejuvenation Of The Chinese Nation: But you get shot.
Enjoy the games!
Well there was the Jamaican bobsled team...
Oh my!
We need to set up a GoFundMe to help NBC recoup its losses...
the vale is shed
I’m actually not feeling empathy for the athletes, for they willingly went to a country where millions are imprisoned for almost no reason.
What? The athletes thought they were ‘special’ because being athletes from other countries?
Bloddy twits and twats.
Not two functioning brain cells between ALL of them.
Walked into a bar Sunday that had 10 tvs only one tuned to the Olympics
They are just showing off their new power plants. Wish we had new modern nuclear power plants
They CCP could have gone all in and held the winter games in Wuhan. The optics couldn’t get much worse.
-PJ
That’s what they said during the summer games but the turds never seem to run out of money 🤪
Tofu-dreg construction “standards”.
And I helped!
Did anyone see the 4 nuclear power plants in the background of the skiing competition?
Third- the venues look like crap.

Especially the big slide built on top of a defunct nuclear power plant.
