And Fukushima radiation
Brazil Olympics but worse… Yikes
This is like a triple whammy of everything that can go wrong during a big sporting event.
Joe Biden checks prices at Target by going to Walmart
Keep your trashy politics in your own country misoginist.
As if in the underworld, athletes sleep on cardboard beds and recommend Fukushima nuclear-contaminated food. Just make history.
I heard the beds are cardboard so they fall apart if the athletes have sex on them lol
Cancel it
Seems everything in the world has gotten worse since Joe Biden was allowed to cheat.
Troll.
Why are Yanks spreading misinformation on a Canadian news story? Did you come here to finally present the proof?
@Not Here Why? They’re stupid and have nothing better to do that spread their garbage everywhere.
There are Olympics going on?
Cancel the Covid Games.

This is what happens when you get Debby Downer to light the flame.
I don’t think I have ever cared less for an olympic tournament in all my life.
I don’t understand why the games are held on rigid dates rather than dates that take into account the climate of the host country. I have been to Japan twice in summer and it was the hottest I have ever felt in my life. Just strolling short distances can be challenging; how much more challenging must it be trying to perform at your peak at an athletic endeavour. In a place like Japan dates during early Spring or late Autumn would have been much easier on the athletes.
