As soon as the Olympic Games started in Pyonghang, as soon as several scandals broke out. On the day of the opening ceremony, the teams of Iran and North Korea resented the fact that the organizers did not give them Samsung smartphones. On Monday, February 12, the sensation was raised by guests of the Games, professing Islam, who were denied special rooms for reading prayers, writes Sports! Yahoo. At the same time, there remains a bitter aftertaste of a politicized scandal involving Russia, which they tried to unfasten from the competition in the guise of fighting against doping. It's no wonder that some participants of the competition already have fatigue. For example, the coach of Russian figure skaters Nina Moser already wants to go home. "I'm leaving on the 17th, I'm tired of being here in this circus," she said in an interview with "Sport Express". In Pyeongchang, Moser's wards have already brought Russia a medal in the overall compilation - silver in the team standings. However, and this could not happen. Allowed at the last moment Russians, according to Moser, were ready to refuse to speak even in case of admission, because they were psychologically exhausted by litigation with the IOC. "Even if we are admitted at the last second, we will not speak, because psychologically we are no longer ready, but humiliated to ride. "- remembered the words of athletes Moser. Overseas also found dissatisfied with what the Olympics turned into. Executive Vice President of the American television company Fox News John Moody wrote a column dedicated to the team of the US Olympic team. In it, Moody noted with sarcasm that the motto of the Games could be changed. The current "Faster". Higher. Stronger "is no longer relevant, it must be replaced by a new one -" Darker. Homosexual.

More diverse ". To this conclusion he came, having carefully studied the composition of the national team, which, in his opinion, was formed not from the strongest athletes, but from the representatives of minorities. "Perhaps we need to ask:

were our Olympians chosen because they are the best in their business, or because they are the best advertisement for our current obsession with the presence of a representative of each of the three categories (meaning racial and religious affiliation, and sexual orientation - note. red. ) ", - the author asks the question. Philosophical reflections of Moody were published on the Fox News website on the day of the opening of the Olympics. The text immediately caused a flurry of criticism of the address, which was soon removed, writes The Independent.
