2018 Winter Olympics

Watching the short track speed skating - you could lose an arm or a leg in that...

Judges seem to have an impossible task even with all the camera angles - British lassie on her arse and gets thrown out even though it looked like she was the one taken out :wtf:

See we also have a "British" athlete who is favourite for the gold - she will be Scottish soon enough if she is the next to land on her song and verse....

i'd heard a commentator say, and since read, that a lot of the problem with the women falling was caused by high winds.

in fact the men's competition was cancelled earlier that day due to poor weather conditions. but the women's wasn't. there's been a call for some sort of inquiry:

 

Australian chef de mission Ian Chesterman has called for an inquiry from the Federation Internationale de Ski to find out if the training events should have been cancelled due to the weather — the men’s event earlier in the day had been cancelled.

 

if that happens, perhaps that'll provide the answer -- about whether the women are actually shite, or just had much less favourable conditions in which to compete.

Fuck me. Bang on about equality and when they get the chance to show theyre made of strong stuff by competing in bad weather and they shit the bed and complain like fuck.

 

Fucking split arse.

 

you do realize that treating everyone the same is what equality means? :laughing: in which case, cancelling the men's competition for poor weather, but allowing the women's to continue in the same conditions is not that.

Of course. I was more leaning towards the Heres your chance to prove your equal by going out in shitty weather and sucking it up

 

The men would have managed no bother and not complained.

 

The women clearly dont have it in them.

 

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
