    I’m honestly surprised athletes from competing nations aren’t supplied with all the same uniform by the Olympic committee.

      Well the rich countries need to spend their bribe money somehow.

      I’m holding my breath for a competing organization to dethrone the IOC, those fuckers are almost as bad as FIFA.

      But, then the nations leading the committee wouldn’t have advantages in materials science and analysis of fluid dynamics. The Olympics are aren’t about the spirit of human competition. It’s about which nation is better by count of medals.

        There is something about the scientific competition to perform better but the nerds don’t get the medals so fuck it.

      If they were really interested in fair competition, they’d have everyone compete in the nude as the greek Gods intended.
