What a wretched disgrace. These Olympics are perfectly suited to the clown world in which we’re currently living.

The Olympic rings on the nearest cooling tower is a nice touch.

“Is this really the Olympic ski jump?”

NO. Ski jumps have a JUMP.

This is the ski hill.

This is the Big Air Trick hill where skiers do flips, etc. A more modern ski sport.

I have not watched one minute of the Olympics so I do not know what the mountain looks like, only what I have read.

Looks better than tens of thousands of bums on the street like we have here, or illegals crossing the borders.

I think Detroit, Pittsburgh, or even Gary, Indiana would have done a better job with the this year’s Winter Olympics.

I appreciate it, thanks.

We used to have a ski jump (50 meter) just outside of town (Jan Stenerud used to jump there before his college/NFL days).

I just wanter the poster to know it wasn’t asking jump.

Scary F’n things to look at!

Correct. Bidding and bribing are the same thing in most places in the world. I was in Norway when they turned away the Olympics because they did not want to enter into the Biding/Bribing war to get the Olympics. Once the NOC told their fellow Nords they were all pretty happy with the decision.
The IOC officials are living high on the ChiCom Hog there in Beijing and the ChiComs are going to do REALLY well in the medal count as a result.
