The Nuclear Winter Olympics, Day 4, Part 2: So you really want to host the Olympic Games?

Sounds to me like PyeongChang and Korea can get a hold of Montreal just about any time now.

Reports (Yahoo! reported it this evening.) from CNBC indicate that Korea will lose $10.5 BILLION by hosting the Games.

That pentagon-shaped stadium you saw?  $109 million, and it might get TWO uses.

Sounds a bit like Montreal, don't it?
  • We have our first doping hit of the Games.  Speed-skater Kei Saito of Japan failed a pre-event drug test for a masking agent.  He's going home.  (Yahoo!)   Saito is, in fact, the FIRST ATHLETE in Japanese Olympic history to fail a drug test.
  • The IOC may demand new helmets for the goalies on the USA hockey teams.  The IOC has provisionally declared The Statue of Liberty to be a political statement, and the IOC does not allow those.  (Yahoo!)
  • Who knows, knowing Deer Leeduh, maybe Trump himself, in opposition to Lady Liberty, believes she is also Fake News...
