Well we know covid 19 might cause the olympics to cancel, so we need think of some ideas to fix them to be safe. And not a moment too soon!

For one thing, and this is obvious, no more circular track. Instead of a tight circle with everyone right next to each other, you make it all straight but the same distance. that way the audience can spread out too.

Now we all now the elephant in the room: relays races. Passing a baton that could have germs on it? Thats a no go. Well how about the runners wear latex gloves. And if they have a latex allergy? hello nitrile.

With regards to swimming- again instead of doing laps, you make one long and skinny pool. I will have to check with the biz fi career engineering career thread to ask how wide it needs to be or maybe there need to be many long and skinny SEPERATE pools.

Well, I think if we put our heads together, we just might be able to save this thing. I sure hope so, so feel free to collaborate your ideas in this thread.

There's summer olympics, winter olympics, paraolympics, and junior olympics. It's time for esports-Olympics.

Special olympics have only served to inspire the human spirit and raise the self-esteem of their competitors

In other words, please spend 50 billion bucks on the new special olympics dome in Indianapolis, we promise it won’t be occupied by junkies 18 months after its done being used

Apparently the Olympic village ends up becoming a cesspit of debauchery every time so why not install cameras all over it and run the footage on PornHub with a revenue sharing agreement with the host city?

The excessive use of performance enhancing drugs leave it appealing to only the lady-bodybuilder-admirer market. Nothing wrong with that, but the olympics people might pay a lot in marketing that they wouldn’t recoup.

For real. Putting it in an already-built stadium with limited attendance makes more sense. The crowds are usually empty anyways except for the opening/closing ceremony just show me who is the best at throwing balls or whatever.

The only people who want the olympics in their town are drug dealers, prostitutes, and hotels. And now AirBNB people who are just hosed-up hotels.

Change the events so you can just do them in the street instead of inside a special building

its almost like an event every 4 years that rapes the host location for a bunch of loser jocks doing entertaining athletic tricks for points doesnt actually make sense

it was just a thinly veiled scam to grift money from the local host population before leaving them for dead.

Agreed, ship a switch to all the athletes that were signed up for the Tokyo event and make them all compete in the official game.

gently caress those 'elite' fucks, what we really need is to run our own grassroots olympics here on the site, with stuff that us regular goons can do in the isolation of our own homes. A Goonlympics.
