Well, skimming through the comments section on the CBC site whenever there is an Olympic-related article it seems many are opting to not watch this year's version. Mostly due to being opposed to where they are being held and of course because of covid.
It seems to me that over the years that less people bother in general due to the negative views of the IOC in general.
China's foreign ministry and an official newspaper have accused the United States of planning to interfere with and "sabotage" the Beijing Winter Olympics by paying athletes from some countries to make half-hearted efforts in competition and to criticize China.

I normally do, and I prefer the Winter Olympics over the Summer Games, but given China's atrocious behaviour over the past six or seven years, I just cannot.
More to come I'm sure.
I bet it will only be teams that can beat Chinese teams.
Yep what a surprise, who wants to bet that there will be athletes quarantined and getting 'positive' tests right before gold medal events?
I'm sure this is going to be the dirtiest Olympics ever.
China - "really? here, hold my beer"
