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.”

Something doesnt seem right.
See FR thread “Life in the Olympic gulag: Athletes are ‘crying like crazy’ in hellish quarantine with miserable food where ‘hope is dead’ as DOZENS miss out on their events after testing positive and being carted off to isolation camps”
Look at the food that those in the O;ymic covid gulag get.
Any complaints about the anal covid testing??
No Springfield Cashew Chicken either.
Just look at all the central american refugee caravans going to Cuba.
The real screw up here is the IOC that awarded the Winter Games to a place that does not do most winter sports. It's cold as hell at the outdoor venues but they are near the desert in an arid climate and there's no snow. The downhill course is a joke.
What is going on is exactly why NBC refused to send it's talent to Beijing. God only knows what the ChiComs would have done to them.
NHL refused to send their players to China. NBC is reporting out of their studios in the U.S. They know that China is totalitarian. At least the Nazis were playing nice in 1936. Not the CCP this time.
Me too, but I realized I would have been arrested there when I heard what they do to dogs. My brother kept telling me “Oh come on it’s their culture!” Torturing dogs as a form of machismo? What the hell is that? No way!
I think Beijing got it, because nobody else wanted it.
I am in favor of just having them permanently in Switzerland. And maybe just having the Summer Games in Greece. Or even splitting the games up into different cities.
Reminds me of Michael Obamas school lunches
It should be held on the moon. You got to get there to be a worthy country.

Winnie the Pooh said no. That's how you get covid.
Nah. It should be in L.A.

LOL! Holy cow I remember that! with Sherman and Mr. Peabody and Boris and Natasha!
I like Panda Express but REAL Chinese food is absolutely vile. I’d rather eat cat vomit
Swiss snowboarder Nicolas Huber, who tested positive upon arrival and was immediately transported to a quarantine hotel, said that he had been taken care of amazingly, and that the Chinese staff were really nice.
“I get food by using the phone, or mostly my physical therapist brings me food,” Huber said, without complaining about the food supply. “
Mark Chanloung, a Thai athlete in cross-country skiing, was once deemed as a close contact. He said his stay in Beijing has been really good, particularly referring to the good food.
Who woulda thunk a communist s hole is a communist s hole?
Clearly.
I have had more than one idiot tell me on Facebook that communism is a great system.
0 have replied to my next question.
“Name one country it works in”
China clearly isn’t commie’n correctly.

All the fortune cookies should say, "You will win in all life's pursuits."
No. But it looks like maybe they’re being served Poo-Poo Platters.
