The Nuclear Winter Olympics, Day 10: Oh. My. GOD. What the FUCK??

• And no, I'm not talking about the ice-dancing wardrobe malfunction.  It happened, it's all over the Net, all that stuff.
• I'm talking about this farce of an Olympian, and especially because it's an American Olympian (apparently competing for Hungary, but she's from Oakland, CA now):  Elizabeth Swaney, and this was her excuse for a waste of time at the Olympics in the ski halfpipe...

The HELL??

Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards at least had some skill.

So did Pita Tautafoua and Madrazo...

This was a joke.  OK?  Swaney probably isn't even fit to be a warm-up skier now, and, because of the system of skiing events being still flawed in some of the X-Games sports, she's in the Olympics with THAT...

Swaney never attempted, in any of her runs, a trick above the deck.  She used and manipulated the qualification system (in both country -- Hungary through her grandparents -- AND in the system, beating enough skiers who crashed out to place highly enough) to get to Korea...

Freestyle skiing judge Steele Spence is saying that's not going to happen again.  PLEASE!

(Yahoo!)

• Deadspin may have the best headline:  "The Winter Olympics Feature 2.951 of the World's Greatest Athletes, And Also This Woman..."
• And we have the first proposed Russian doping scandal of these Games:  But in CURLING??? (Inside the Games)  Aleksandr Krushelnitckii -- mixed-doubles, and it would be a medal nullification (bronze).  Meldonium, the same drug that got Maria Sharapova banned.
• It is still undetermined (but the Krushelnitckii situation won't help) as to whether the Russian flag will march in Sunday's Closing Ceremony, but the $15,000,000 fine to the IOC must also be paid -- before we even get to any other considerations.  (Inside the Games)
• If you've been watching the world feed, you've been seeing something called the "OBS", the Olympic Broadcasting System.  Well, it's head, Yiannis Exarchos, says that sports like sports climbing, big-air snowboarding, and 3-on-3 basketball (all making debuts in PyeongChang or in Tokyo 2020) are examples of sports for urban and youth cultures, and the IOC should be making more room for them, as the sports are not in the vein of the 19th-century British countryside.  Greeeeeat...  E-sports in the Olympics, here we come!  (Inside the Games)
• Skateboarding, surfing, and BMX racing will also feature in Tokyo for the first time.
• Medal Count:  Germany and Canada tied at the top of 2-man bobsledding to wrap yesterday.  Norway tops the table with 28 total and 10 gold.  Germany now has 9 gold and 20 total for second.  Canada is third with six gold and 17 total.  The Netherlands, with six gold, has 13 total.  As of the moment (see above), the OAR is next on the total with 11 -- no gold, EIGHT bronze.  The USA, with their total of ten, is tied with  Austria and Japan for sixth in total.
