For anyone watching the Beijing Olympics, everything looks great, but behind the scenes, it’s a disaster.
The Guardian reported Sunday that the two main issues are weather and the COVID crisis.
“The Swedes have suggested that the conditions in the mountains are perilously cold,” said the report. “A Polish skater says she was living in fear in a Beijing isolation ward and has ‘cried until I have no more tears.’ The Finns have claimed an ice hockey player is being kept in Covid quarantine for no reason. And the Germans? They are frustrated that there is no hot food at the downhill skiing.”
The main problem facing those on the mountains is that the International Ski Federation takes temperature into consideration before pausing an event, but in this case, they have ignored wind chills. The result was a horrific photo of downhill skiers collapsed at the end of the course. On Sunday, the men’s event was paused due to high winds.
