Do they ever go smooth? Seems like every single one has major issues with something or other.

While they do usually have some issues, this year has been a whole new level of mess.

Why are the french against people banging, so they installed fuckless beds in the rooms? I would have thought the opposite of the french. And the puritan attitude is a mystery.

Several countries that could shipped in their own AC and food after seeing the conditions in France. I've also heard many athletes ordered pillow tops for their mattresses.

Because it's a Muslim country now?

Should just be a giant swinger mansion... Or maybe 2 mansions. 1 for athletes who are done or dont care, and 1 for he athletes who want to sleep.

I can see having a spot for minors. I assume there are some under-18s there?

But the rest of them are grown ass adults, at the top of their profession, on the world stage. They don't need chastity belts and bundling beds.

oh, right, yes. Let's use 18 instead of whatever France would use.

Googled it, French age of consent is 15

18 isn't even across-the-board in the USA. Just using it as a baseline.

That's a tough explain if your search history went public.

IOC lets dude beat the shit out of a girl in front of an audience.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/o ... 628914007/

Fox says "athlete has male chromosomes," every other source I read says "failed an undisclosed gender verification test." Person was disqualified from competing last year. IOC says it's all legit.

IDK.

That boxer may be intersex. There are not a lot of clear details on their status, but they appear to have been raised as a girl and always identified as female. In Algeria no less, which isn't terribly progressive

World Boxing Authority posted a statement about both persons competing as women in the Olympics that are technically male. They condemned their inclusion and pointed out that both were disqualified from other world competitions for failing gender verification tests. They also pointed out that upon failing one did not appeal, the other did, but dropped the appeal.
