Even Simone Biles is tweeting support for her. Hope she doesnt kill herself she seems so depressed. Even saying that loss made her question the last 15 years.

I heard all the snow at this Olympics is artificial which skiers aren't used to? Is that true and if so why are they hosting it where it doesn't snow

Because majority of the world dont want to be the one to spend all that money hosting Olympics. It was either China or Kazakhstan. And they went with China.

Huh? Even poor countries like Brazil and Russia love the opportunity to host that.

Yeah but they were still eager to do it. So you're saying developing countries are actually wising up now?

I think everyone is wising up. I dont think people knew how financially suicidal it was to host the Olympics in the past. Now there are tons of articles online letting you know how countries suffered after hosting them.

Artificial snow at the Olympics has been commonplace for years.

Because theyd give the Winter Olympics to Saudi Arabia if the bribe was large enough.

It sucks that she (and several others like her) have to deal with the pressure that they put on themselves to achieve greatness at one specific moment in their lives. Its usually all or nothing with the Olympics.

To even be an Olympian in the first place is such a rare achievement in its own right - hopefully she can eventually appreciate just how far she came rather than beat herself up for falling a tiny bit short at the very end.

I hope she's okay. Mikalea won gold medals in 2014 and '18. She has nothing to be ashamed of.

Yes, but not usually all of it. They built their ski hills on an arid mountain.

we have different definitions of eager since the Brazilian people were protesting and rioting for IIRC close to a year.

I was referring to the government, since they are the ones who ultimately decide.

Sucks for her. Imagine spending your life training for a single run down a hill and falling or missing a gate five seconds in. Its got to be brutal mentally.

Yes. I saw in some documentary or something that its actually a shitty deal to host the Olympics. That's why most places don't want it anymore
