Hmmmm, where did I hear about possible issues with the Olympics venues.....

A screenshot of the Sports! Newsletter that reads:

Heading: Things that MIGHT become a big deal

🇮🇹🍝🧑‍🍳 Italy has not done a great job prepping these Olympics. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither were the Milano-Cortina Olympic venues. In fact, some are still actively under construction with the Games just days away! It may feel like you hear these “Olympics aren’t ready!” storylines every four years and then the games go off fine, but the last few Olympics actually haven’t really had that issue — this is probably the most shoddily organized games since Rio 2016.

My friend group is putting together an opening ceremonies bingo card (suggestions welcome!) and “technical difficulties” feels like enough of a given that it should be a free space. Maybe we’ll get super specific and divide it into multiple squares!

You can just say "curler" or "curling player" because the "partially lit" is a baseline functionality implication

(2019) THE OLYMPICS: OK Italy, we're giving you 2026, can you pull it off? ITALY: Yes, we just have to build one arena, very easy, the easiest of any Olympics (2026) THE OLYMPICS: OK we're here! how is that one arena looking? ITALY: (sitting at a cafe, reading a newspaper) mi scusi????

I was hoping one of the competitors is an electrician in their day job and went up to fix it like this non league footballer
