The Olympics is full of people - especially in track and field - fighting to register as citizens of little and isolated countries so they can compete in the Olympics.
Apparently Hungary is especially generous in permitting overseas sportsmen who can credibly document Hungarian blood to compete at the OLYMPIC level as Hungarians, provided there is almost no showing by “full Hungarians” in the Olympic events entered:
An American lady with one vaguely Hungarian mother had a longstanding hankering to compete in the Olympics and this woman was a PROFOUNDLY AVERAGE skier.
The key was she entered only obscure skiing events for which there were absolutely ZERO Hungarians.
What played out was RIDICULOUS —she basically skied down the half-pipe, barely doing any tricks at all.
EMBARRASSING.
It was simple for her:
She had a bucket list, and she checked off the “Olympics” box.
RIDICULOUS.
