Feb. 4: Team Canada arrives at the opening ceremony of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. The ceremony, directed by Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou, who kept things relatively short compared with the 2008 festivities in Beijing. tgam.ca/3I55IKF 
Feb. 7: Canada's Max Parrot and Mark McMorris celebrate after winning gold and bronze, respectively, in men's slopestyle snowboarding. It was the second straight Olympics where the two would share the podium in that event. tgam.ca/3I55IKF
🧵IOC just destroyed another young woman athlete,complicit with the Russian coaches who gave Kamila Valiyeva drugs,lied about her test, gave her a ludicrously unbelievable story to tell, putting full blame on her instead of taking responsibility. Appalling treatment of this girl.
🧵Russia shouldn't be competing all all. They were banned for doping. But IOC bent to Putin and created the fake ROC. Why didn't Kamila's test from TWO MONTHS AGO get reported until this week? That's more Russian subterfuge. In which the IOC is utterly complicit.

🧵People who don't understand what these Russian athletes go through, how these little girls get plucked out of their families and made to compete for the State. And then are discarded for a new model. #TaraLipinski echoed what I said here after the short program. It's criminal.
Holy shit while Valieva crying and getting a hug Alexandra Trusova is crying and shouting "I hate this sport! Why I didn't get gold? I never going on ice again!" #Olympics #OlympicGames #figureskate #FigureSkating
Also Trusova backed out from Eteri hug and told her that she knew everything from the start 🤔? (i made subtitles for this one) #FigureSkating #позорТутберидзе #OlympicWinterGames
And here her comment to the press:
"You have seen the results. Am I happy? No. Are you happy?"

Let this sink in—All 6 high school basketball 🏀 players in this photo tested positive for #COVID19 in last 4 day… Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. None of them wore a mask in any legit way. 1 in 7 infected kids get #LongCovid—➡️4 out of 30-kid COVID+ class.

2) but but but, masks are too hard to wear in sports…. Meanwhile at the #Olympics2022
“The gate to the groin for Yannick Bertrand and you could hear it. And if you’re a man, you could feel it…The boys took a beating on that one” #Olympics2022 #WinterOlympics #Olympics #OlympicGames
I’m finding the #WinterOlympics painful to watch
It isn’t just men’s genitalia getting pummelled, it’s women’s too
For matters of good taste, I’m not going to post the clip of the couple’s figure skating, but instead leave it to Robin Williams to explain

The #WinterOlympics can also lead to injury when viewers decide to give sports a go in their own homes
Inspired by the #Olympic figure skating, this kid ended up with a blister on the sole of his foot the size of a golf ball.

Today's #Olympics2022 hero spotlight is placed on #Uyghur scholar Adil Ghappar [Kariz] whose condition and well-being have been unknown since 2017.
I met Adil in 2014 having been introduced to him by Rahile Dawut. I was under his wing at Xinjiang Normal University as I taught a short-term course in his department.
Adil remained extremely witty and optimistic despite tighter restrictions on his research. He already published a monumental contribution to understandings of the richness of Uyghur religious rituals and expressions

Nachdem es erst aus dem ukr. Sicherheitsrat verlautete, zieht nun auch der ukr. Außenminister nach.
Kuleba erklärte, die Minsker Vereinbarung könne in einigen (essentiellen) Punkten "aus Prinzip" nicht erfüllt werden.
Verhandlungen mit LDVR seien ausgeschlossen.

Es geht dabei zum einen um einen dauerhaften Sonderstatus für den #Donbass , der mehr Autonomie bekommen sollte.
Zum anderen müsse dieser Sonderstatus laut der Minsker Vereinbarung in einem Dialog mit Donbass-Vertretern ausgehandelt werden.
Beides lehnt Kiew nun offen ab.

Der #Biathlon-Experte #Pfeiffer kritisiert massiv den #IOC.
So sagte er: "Ich denke da an die Uiguren, an Hongkong und an die fehlende Meinungsfreiheit. [..] Und es gibt auch Leute, die verschwinden" /TN #Bach #Olympics2022

Solche Statements erhoffe ich mir von (Ex-)Sportler:innen. Nix auf dieser Welt ist unpolitisch.
Dementsprechend kann man sich auch nicht dahinter verstecken, man sei ja nur Sportler:in. /TN

Und ja. Selbst dein Geschäfts morgens auf'n Klo hat was mit Politik zu tun. Denn ob die Scheiße wieder hoch kommt, entscheiden Politiker:innen damit, wie gut die Infrastruktur ausgebaut ist. /TN
