We’re talking about speed skaters here ... not skiers and boarders.

That's what I'm saying. There have been successes in these Olympics, but it's primarily been among mostly skiers and boarders who aren't making excuses about things and seem genuinely grateful for the experience they're having.

Yesterday, they found a female speed skater to interview who was glad to get there, had to get online donations to pay her way. Didn't hear any attitude from her.

Those who are complaining are supposed to be the best in the world. Shouldn't part of being the best in the world be to be able to adapt to conditions? The whining about snow conditions and outfit technology is unpleasant.
