People were injecting shit into their dicks so when they got measured for their uniform, they'd have more material in the crotch to help get air on the long jump. I'm probably misremembering the exact figures, but they calculated that something like an extra inch of material in the uniform could translate to up to 5 extra meters in a ski jump. So they had penis inspectors checking to make sure competitors weren't plumping their pricks.
Allegations of ski jumpers using penis enlargement injections in order to get more surface area during their measurements for their suits. As far as I know, no credible evidence of this actually happening though.
If there's no credible evidence for the elaborate story, then I default to something simpler like insecure guys injecting saline to look bigger on TV while wearing their skin tight suits.
What makes the cross country sking story even more bananas was that moments before, the the gold medal winner had given a heartfelt and tearful interview in which he dedicated his win to his teammate who had died and whose body he was the one to discover.
I wouldn't know if any of this happens since all they cover here is SPEEDSKATING. We are fucking third place on the ranking with 1 fucking sport. Speedskating or speedskating with friends. Why are there so many medals for 1 sport. Fucking hell.
How crazy is it that on two separate occasions dogs got loose on to the course/track, whatever it's called, during Olympic events. I wonder if they're going to stop letting people bring dogs.
People who bring their dogs to large public events are morons. Almost every year immediately after our towns fireworks show there's someone on Facebook looking for their dog that ran out of the park as soon as the fireworks started.

Ain’t no rule that says a dog can’t win the cross country ski race.

It even had Israel participating, but not Russia,because they're bad
Dojan@pawb.social · 13 pts · 178d
Yeah it's hypocritical. The U.S. also participated. If you can toss out Russia you can toss out U.S. and Israel too.

Also an unfathomably based swiss commentator https://m.youtube.com/shorts/pxJy1qn75Io

My favorite part is the Israeli politician(?) saying his “just repeating the facts about this athlete” was vile anti-semitism
RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 178d
"His statements were factual, but ran a little to long."
That is the most Swiss way to tell some critics to go fuck themselves.

Interesting how the commentator was criticized, and not the one supporting baby killing.

Ik heb toch veel andere sporten gevolgd via npo. Schaatsen was vaak rond etenstijd maar via npo start kon je de sporten van overdag terugkijken.

Wasn't it a heat? The dog really has to bring it's A game for the final

And they managed to make what should have been the most predictable and boring figure skating final in history into tragicomedy.

There's a video of a dog doing the slalom which Im almost certain is AI generated
SlippiHUD@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 179d
Cant decide if there's an AI video of a dog cross country skiing or if they called this woman a bitch
