This is all I need of the Olympics now: Viktor Petrenko, born in Ukraine under the USSR, making a return to Olympic competition at the 1994 Lillehammer games to skate for recently independent Ukraine. A bit past his prime, but turning in a thrilling free skate.

No Olympians have been publicly identified as openly supporting President Trump, #MAGA, or associating with the manosphere during the 2026 Winter #Olympics.

That’s some Soviet Union -level shit! 😅

It feels pretty cool to watch the #Olympics and recognize the places I’ve visited in person during my #Dolomiti #hiking trip three years ago.


Order matters in the #Olympics.

Athletes who compete first, last, or right after a standout performance may be judged differently.

Psychological biases are part of why some sports explore computer-assisted judging.
