Olympians in tears over poor living conditions, lack of food at Winter Games

It’s apparently not all fun and games at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

Complaints from athletes and officials are pouring in about the alleged poor living conditions, dining options, isolating rooms, and debilitating weather conditions, according to social media posts.

German Alpine skiing coach Christian Schwaiger criticized the catering in Beijing and raised concern about limited food options to fuel the high-performing pro athletes.

“The catering is extremely questionable because really it’s not catering at all. “There are no hot meals,” Schwaiger said, via the Sun.

“There are crisps, some nuts and chocolate, and nothing else. This shows a lack of focus on high-performance sport.”

The food that one athlete posted a pic of - I think she was Polish - looked disgusting and very meager.

It’s China, what do you expect?

Maybe you shouldn’t have gone to a communist country?

That doesn’t look like any Chinese food I’ve ever seen.

I’d order Chinese delivery, or use Uber eats.

I’m sure the Olympic committee was handsomely compensated for their selection of Beijing to host the Olympic Games, so it’s all good.

I was invited by a friend to visit china once. I refused.

Does Team China get the good food?

“Complaints from athletes and officials are pouring in about the alleged poor living conditions, dining options, isolating rooms, and debilitating weather conditions,”

Bet team china doesn’t have to endure such Spartan conditions.

But it’s by design to give china the edge.

Reminds me of the “meal” we were served aboard Aeroflop one time in 1987. Freakin’ liverwurst.
