Making a mockery of the Olympics. The video is great. :lol:

She can’t do any tricks, can’t get any air, can’t do anything but go up and down the halfpipe like anyone at the local bunny hill might.

And yet there Swaney was on Monday, one of 24 skiers competing in the qualifiers of the ladies’ halfpipe at the Winter Olympics.

Butterface, but that's not why I called.

Good for her that she figured out enough loopholes to get there.

Quote:
the international field for ladies’ halfpipe is not exceedingly deep. Qualifying for the Olympics involves recording a certain number of top-30 finishes in qualifying events and many of these events don’t even feature 30 people.

So Swaney burned up the globe, attending qualifiers in places like China, South Korea, Italy, Canada and New Zealand. After initially representing Venezuela in these events, Swaney claimed Hungarian ties through her grandparents. And thanks to a system of quotas, she eventually qualified for the Olympics, despite never attempting a single trick above the deck. Her best finish was 13th out of 15 competitors in China when most of the good freestyle skiers were competing at the same time in the United States.

I don't think you should be able to make an Olympic team from some other country just because nobody there plays the sport. For example, if there is Olympic baseball, we know Anthony Rizzo isn't good enough to make the U.S. team. He shouldn't be allowed to do an Elizabeth Swaney for Italy.

Sounds like she bought her way in by traveling to all those events. Money wins again.

Yeah it’s gotten crazy. There was some article about an American who was playing for South Korean hockey team. I think the only thing Korean about him was he played in their fledgling hockey league. He at least became a citizen but only after the invitation to join the team.

Usually that sort of thing happens with host countries who can't fill out teams. Lots of people with heritage will compete for the host nation so that they can play in all the events.

This chick just seems to have a thing for showing she can do stuff. She also ran for governor of California and graduated from Harvard (with a degree is some odd major no one at Harvard cares about).

The part where she's interviewing a lady and her llama feels like something from Newhart.

There are two American sisters playing hockey in these Olympics, one for the U.S. and one for Korea. The one playing for Korea is an adoptee originally from Korea. Something doesn't feel right about that to me. Isn't the point to represent your country? Otherwise why not just let everyone ski, run, and skate unattached and kill the team sports.

Well at least there is some connection there. But yeah, I mostly agree with you.

Fake nationality. Although.... who is to say that Hungary DOES exist?

Its not just in the Olympics, either - Turkey has been importing Kenyan runners at an amazing rate the last couple of year to round out their International Cross Country team, and get wealthy doing it. Their 2017 European Championship men team was comprised of 4 Kenyans and one Turkish born athlete. After the race the 4 Kenyans were pictured proudly holding their new Turkish flag - upside down. The Turkish guy had to run in there and correct them. Kenya and Ethiopia are so saturated with distance runners they actively sell themselves to the highest bidder to take on their nationality and compete with little to no red tape.

Is that the reason he won a platinum glove?

Did anyone see her Olympic run? It was hilarious. She literally just went back and forth in the half pipe without doing a trick. The commentator was trying so hard to sell what she was doing to the audience.
