Way too much curling on TV – great scandals
Cheating Curlers
Both the men’s and women’s Canadian curling teams have been accused of double-touching the stone, a form of cheating in curling. In the men’s match on Feb. 13, Team Sweden’s Oskar Eriksson got into a verbal disagreement with Canadian third Marc Kennedy; Eriksson said they had video proof of Canada wrongly delivering the rock. Despite Eriksson’s accusations, the Canadian team was not penalized and won the match 8–6. The women’s match on Feb. 14 was a different story, with Rachel Homan being called for a rules violation for touching the stone in Canada’s 8–7 loss to Switzerland.
Ran out of condoms
It’s reported that the initial supply of condoms was less than 10,000, which pales in comparison to the 300,000 provided at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics. Condoms were restocked, and the Milan Cortina organizing committee said they will be “continuously replenished until the end of the Games to ensure continued availability.”
Penisgate
Male ski jumpers are being accused of receiving penis-enlarging injections of hyaluronic acid. The injections are reportedly given before competitors being fit for their suits, with the intent to increase the suit’s surface area. During competition, the larger suits would act similarly to a sail, as The Athletic pointed out, helping to boost the distance of skiers’ jumps. Plastic surgeon Alessandro Littara told USA Today that he treated a ski jumper last month, but he would not specify whether the athlete is an Olympian. No specific ski jumper has been directly accused, and all three Americans competing denied receiving injections.
