sne Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 Might as well have a thread for it. It starts on Wednesday, it's in China, it's gonna be crap, it's gonna be empty stadiums and everyone is going to get Covid. Latest reports from the Swedish athletes who's already arrived is that the toilets in the Olympic village are clogged and the rooms are only 12°C at night. GO SPORTS! 2

El Zen Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 This is usually close to the football world cup in terms of importance to me. I’m not sure I’ll watch a single event. Between the human rights issues, covid and the time difference, I’m not sure I can be bothered. If only there was a football world cup this year I could look forward to. Thanks IOC, thanks FIFA. 2

Genie Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 12 degrees at night isn’t that cold is it? I’d assume regular houses are similar with no heating on in the middle of the night?

Trouble is, lots of us think we should not allow big sports events in countries we’ll happily buy our gas, petrol, tee shirts and laptops from. 2

So 12 isn’t that bad really, especially if you have good warm bedding. It’s also traditional for Olympic accommodation to be a massive disaster so what do they expect

And we use that to produce heat in a variety of ways for homes. Mostly heatpumps, Downhole heat exchangers, or remote District heating. The further north you get most detached homes have a fireplace as well. 2
