Nice breakdown of what Russia did to get banned from the olympics on The Daily today: https://www.nytimes.com/podcasts/the-daily ↗

Ties the efforts clearly to the Kremlin.

In contrast, heard an announcer mention in passing that the American luger was a "Soldier Athlete". Apparently the US has some soldiers training all day in certain sports.

The things superpowers do to appear to have a healthy, dominant sports ecosystem...

@approxinfinity I read "that the American luger was a 'Soldier Athlete'" and wondered what this weird reference was to an American knockoff pistol I apparently had never heard of, and what it had to do with Olympics. Then I realized "luger" wasn't capitalized!

@mayjay haha too funny

@mayjay

Are you sure they weren't referring to Lon Luger, the OU basketball coach?
