Clearly Pyeongchang paid more in bribe money and favors than Munich and Annecy.

for being cheats...Should be good fun. I am still holding out for the hope they bring in men's pairs in figure skating and dancing.

Men's figure skating should involve body-checking. And tackling.

Watching some Olympics on TV right now. Barely any spectators. Men's combined downhill had just a smattering of people in the stands. Half pipe is even worse, with workers outnumbering spectators. What a disaster.

Hasn't it also been really windy causing competitions to be delayed and pushed later?

Reasons:
- Extremely remote location with very little accommodations forces long commutes
- Lack of English instructions including on websites forces foreigners to give on on trying to attend
- Olympics falls on the Lunar New Year, causing lack on interest for locals to attend, and causes supply problems for trains to take spectators to the Games.
