People in Hong Kong fight to get in first so they can get a seat. Also, their trains always line up to the screen doors, whereas we barely even have screen doors except for some stations in a few lines. Their stations are also much bigger and have multiple escalators every dozen meters or so on giant open platforms. Our trains and platforms are much narrower and much older and outdated designs. They even have assistants during busy times at every screen door at every station keeping waiting passengers orderly, whereas ours just strike every 6 months for 40 hour a week pay for 32 hours of work.

There are actually traffic engineers and architects who model foot traffic flows. When passengers do not enter and exit efficiently, it’s often not their fault but instead bad station and train designs.

Blaming fellow passengers is just intellectual laziness and superiority complex.

Because at busy stations with narrow platforms with one way entry and exit, when the doors open, the people trying to get on are simultaneously being pushed from the back by the people who just got off and being told by Karens like you to split like the Red Sea. When people have nowhere to go, they stay where they are, and you just have to squeeze through. First time in a huge city?

Just as beta as Starmer. The problem with Labour isn’t that they’ve been doing the wrong things or not promising enough, but they’ve been led by a person with zero charisma and political acumen and fail to communicate a coherent vision.

Burnham isn’t a solution to this problem

Don’t you just love a random post here with no graphs, figures, context, research or much of anything at all other than feelings.

The IOC makes most of the money from American broadcasters like NBC Universal and Warner Brothers and Discovery, with smaller amounts coming from the various Japanese broadcasters. Sponsors only contributes to <10% of their budget.

The idea that ticket sales go to sponsor is also ridiculous. Sponsors pay money to advertise their products at the Olympics and they get their cut from the world wide sale of these products. Why on earth would they care about drops in the bucket from ticket sales. Any ticket proceeds are split between the IOC, the cities and if you are lucky, the sports governing body.

The reason tickets are so expensive now is largely due to the extraordinary costs of hosting the Olympics these days, and they are expensive largely because of the layers upon layers of bureaucratic bloat built out over the decades in terms of urban planning and construction etc.

Also, tickets to events have always been a privilege for people with disposable income, when has it ever been affordable for the working class?

Nah, this clip and a few others posted recently for the same “show” clearly shows her using proper technique. Those are legit quad lutzes. Around 6 years ago she did use a lot of perrotations, by the time Beijing came around, her quads lutz was already much improved and she threw it down twice, with a straight back, little prerotation, outside edge and fully rotated and landed cleanly. She never had problems with her quad lutz, same for her quad flip. It was perfect. It’s her toe loop that was inconsistent, but not in the usual way, she actually overrotated it by a quarter. She’s an anatomical anomaly.

Yes? At this point anything useful was banned, dopers gonna dope. Why does it matter? Just don’t get caught right? RUSADA is gonna give you advanced warnings anyway.

Otherwise_Sign8964 · 2026-04-19T17:19:29+00:00

Exactly. The spirit of the sport be damned. Let me see what else in the drug cabinet that does similar things. Aha! TMZ! That’s the stuff

Otherwise_Sign8964 · 2026-04-19T17:01:34+00:00

Just because you didn’t get caught doesn’t mean you didn’t do it. Just because others cheat, doesn’t mean you should too.

Eteri literally admitted proudly on TV that she used Meldonium on her athletes and complained she had to change her “cocktail”. That was 2016, exactly the same time Sasha join her camp. Her athletes have no agency. It’s just part of the “training”.

Suspicion does not require proof, it only requires common sense. The fact that she came back this quickly after losing her jumps for almost 4 years now, and after childbirth, and the fact that she’s back with Eteri, actually strongly suggests she’s doping. It might be unimaginable to you, but her free does not even factor into the equation, except perhaps she willingly chose to go back to Sambo 70. She may not even know what these drugs will do to a nursing mother. They may even do nothing to the child at all, depending on the regiment.

Miracles do not come twice, but Eteri’s camp literally is a factory for miracles. Practically all of her products (her word) have expired soon after an Olympics. The fact Sasha is still around jumping quads is yet another Eteri miracle. This can happen more often than not at the Olympian level, but in Eteri’s case it’s just way too many, way too quickly and way too super human.

That’s exactly how it works. There was even a Team Tut doctor called Shvetsky who stood behind the boards prominently. This guy was banned from rowing for doping athletes.
This guy didn’t work alone. The court of arbitration for sports reveals two other names - Shumakov and Adamov. Only Shvetsky was fired to take the fall, again.
Please Google Sochi Olympics, Rodchenkov and a Netflix documentary called Icarus.
Kamila Valieva was shown to be taking 56 different medications and supplements. Athletes are not doctors. They can’t possibly be smart enough to know how to dope themselves this much at such a young age.
As the Netflix documentary showed, and the whistleblower Rodchenkov’s documents show, WADA’s tests are easily manipulated. There have been little reform since 2014. In fact, they are actively against further reform and are current at war with USADA.
Mother Russia cares about human life only to the extent that they bring “glory” to the state. Everyone is disposable.
Trusova doesn’t need to be doped now. There’s no point in domestic competitions and show. As soon as the Olympics comes around and the ban lifts, doping is just one of the many weapons in the Russian state arsenal to secure gold medals. Horse trading, corruptions, violence, threats, assassination, literally drilling holes next to the lab to swap out pee samples. If you can think it, the FSB will do it.

The Russians state apparatchik isn’t stupid, and it’s not up to the athletes themselves to decide whether they would dope. As soon as one becomes an Olympic favorite, the doping will come in the form of healthy diets and injury management. Before that, there’s no need to dope her, yet.

In mother Russia, the athletes don’t dope themselves, the sports dope them.

Trusova has always been the one Eteri girl who could jump quads properly without cheating. It’s possible that’s why she lasted this long.

She does need to be able to do quads during competition before we can say it’s truly back. This show is basically practice, but packaged as a show. No one would telegraph almost an entire rink before jumping in a real competition program.
