Olympics 1- These will continue in the coming days

I'm going to start collecting the stupid quotes from the Olympic commentators. Tonight it's men's gymnastics after the Chinese clenched the gold medal:

"There's a new China Syndrome- and it's called China Gold."

I don't even know the name of the dude who said it. The commentators are less than talking heads, they're just disconnected voices creating a narrative Americans can follow so we'll watch. Capitalizing on nationalism and creating rivalries where there are none.

What's up with the crazy lady talking to the athletes seconds after they've won. Dude, they just got Olympic Gold Medals... leave them alone. This is why we have no interiority.
