Winter Olympics. What a hot topic! If you have recently read anything on social media or even the news for that matter, you have probably seen something about the Olympics whether it be about some awkward mistakes or even the placings, it seems there is always something being said.
One of the big things people are talking about is how there are the Olympic stars and one of them ended up not bursting to full expansion. Not only is a show a big part of the Olympics, but it is seen across the world! Therefore, if something goes wrong, there is a lot of blame put on one countries shoulders. This year it just so happened to be Russia. So there was an initial blame put on Russia in the very beginning.
There then was the fact that the skiers were so hot that they ended up having to put the snow they could have used from the slope to put down their coats and other gear so that they didn't over heat and get dehydration. This is obviously a major problem for a place where the WINTER OLYMPICS are supposed to be happening. There are a ton of events that need to happen in the snow and making Olympians over heat isn't exactly something you want your country to be known for. Ninety eight total winter events! That's a big responsibility!
Although things may have gone wrong, I do not believe that we should judge Russia for a few things they could not have seen coming their way. Just a simple thought, if we were in their shoes we wouldn't want to be known for the Olympics that went wrong.
