Didn’t Russia use the last Winter Olympics to hide and Army so they could invade The Crimea ?
1) Alternating the Summer and Winter Olympics in different years.
2) Allowing professional athletes to compete.
3) End of the Cold War.
Wow, no Russia and no NHL.
Sloveinia might Gold Medal in hockey.
Was just thinking this.
IMHO, the BEST Winter Olympic event is the Men’s Downhill.
The best skiers in the world going down a mountain as fast a they can(80+ MPH).
Fastest one down wins. Simple.
Probably just as well. The Russkis would probably “hack” the Olympics and distract everyone from the anthem kneelers from the Divided Tribal States of America. We can’t allow that to happen.
The world cup is in Russia next year a few months after the winter Olympics. I can see them just boycotting and focusing on the World Cup.
