Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Some of the downhill skiing and slalom has been fun to watch.  Intense. 

Yes- it is weird and annoying that there are virtually no fans there except a handful of well placed- socially distanced, mask wearing Chinese citizens, waving their small Chinese flags.   

But I try to not let that take away from these amazing athletes from all over the world, doing incredible things.   It is not their fault.  They worked their ass off to be among the best in the world, and that deserves my attention- at the very least- the exciting sports like Skiing, Ski Jumping, Hockey, luge, bobsled and so on.   Sports I would like anyway. 

For the most part, I'm throwing the Olympics on as background. But I do enjoy some of the events.

Figure skating isn't usually my thing, but there was a Russian girl on last night who was the first female to ever land a quad in Olympic competition, and she landed two in her performance... She was pretty damn impressive.

Saw that.  Incredible!

What is the "snow" made from?

If I understood it correctly they were saying yesterday that this region of China gets snow once every 10 years. So the snow is pretty much all man-made and very hard and icy.

I don't believe that is quite accurate.  The background for the cross country ski venue had some snow in the hills, but not nearly enough for any events.  I did hear that all of the events were using manufactured snow, but that has been the case for most events in the winter games for the past 20 years.

That may well be a coal plant, not a reactor, I think there is a smokestack there.

Even better.
