Olympic Malaise

     No, it's not them. It's me. The endless snow and ice. Body after body hurtling down slopes, all a blur, country or sex indistinguishable, just bundled-up figures performing superhuman feats. So figure skating may be  a little less of a challenge for an athletically ignorant viewer. Narrators' comments ranging from performance great except it was " a little too little" and "He looked beautiful in the air" as the skater sprawled on the ice on landing.    A Canadian skater  had skated for the USA in previous Olympics. A female skater for China is, or was,  an American citizen. The male finalists' hair styles all resembled K-Pop's BTS. And yes I know this may sound racist and derogatory, but who needs more winter.
