Beautiful medal table 
Yes China 
Some countries have been very political with their diplomatic boycott, China is probably just returning the favor by making political remarks in the press conference.
Some other fake snow stats for those who are interested:
“Vancouver turned 7960 cubic meters (2.1 million gallons) of water into snow as the host in 2010. 80% of the snow in 2014’s Sochi Olympics was fake, four years later in PyeongChang, South Korea, it was 90%.”
ExpandI honestly can't understand how to love a winter Olympics done only on artificial snow.
Winter is all about cold temperature, snow is optional.
Plus it's a matter of having your own opinion, for me I loved this games already after seeing the venues. I'm extremely stressed right now so olympics is one of those things that makes me feel happy these days.
I'm loving this olympics!
ExpandI know your someone who'll happily eat the chinese shit if they say so. Btw Phillipines has bought missiles from in a strong message to china .
Nonetheless don't want to spoil the mood of the games arguing with some idiots.
Leading candidate in our election is pro-Chinese, you will have to get used to it.
Bach's only good speech was the one he just delivered. Congrats Beijing!
China already won the medal table with their majestic entrance. Congrats Beijing!
So many important world leaders watching live in the stadium, very nice to see!
Insane level of technology on display partnered with the very beautiful Beijing's nest stadium. Congrats China! 
China
ExpandRumor says China downgrade the standard of being Covid positive after complaints. I guess it’s consistent to Europe standard now. So we may see less cases in coming days.
No one should be allowed to leave the bubble for the entirety of the competition to keep the citizens of Beijing safe from the virus.
ExpandChina’s vaccine doesn’t really work that well and they won’t want their public knowing that.
Are the europeans and north american countries using Chinese vaccines since their athletes are the ones that are most likely to test positive here?
ExpandChina accuses the west of politicising the games but it itself does the same
Soldiers are citizens too, nothing wrong with this.
ExpandThe number is correct. The breakdown is as below
Upon Arrival:
Athletes and team staff:13
Others:16
Positive rate:29/753=3.85%
Inside the closed-loop
Athletes and team staff:13
Others:13
Positive rate:26/67137=0.04%

The Beijing committee website updates the Covid numbers daily, usually at 11am Beijing time.
Very low positivity rate even with daily testing. This shows that China's measures against the omicron is working. Congratulations once again to Beijing.
The best winter olympics begins.

According to
NOC website, Chinese Taipei decides to participate Beijing Olympics opening and closing ceremony after negotiations with IOC and claiming it will overcome the traffic difficulties and Covid-19 protocols concerns. Different from the enthusiasm to report its withdrawal, I didn’t see any English media report it yet. So you guys would be first batch of English users to know it.
The boycott camp is getting smaller and smaller while the attending camp is only getting bigger. Well done China.
ExpandHave athletes in your countries said anything about the organization and such in China? Yesterday I saw an interview with Dutch skier Adriana Jelinkova, who said she had never been so lost in her life as she was on the way to some place to train
"The organization is.....not so great, to be honest. It's all super confusing and every direction you're pointed in and every thing you are supposed to do conflicts with other things the next person says. You have to go there, but when you're 'there', you have to go somewhere else, and so on. And also, basically nobody related to the organization or something speaks any English at all, so that doesn't help. At least they seem friendly.."
I thought there's a draconian banned imposed to the athletes from saying negative things about China as reported by western media. 
What is the truth?
ExpandAs a person who has experiences quite enough in journalist world ..... Just wonder why to release such a article. I know there might be some ppl doubting this issue in the world but releasing such kind of article is kinda what they want .... https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202201/29/WS61f52f96a310cdd39bc842e8.html
As for me, we can already see some athletes, personnel and other people who tested positive after arriving to Beijing but there has been silence about Chinese athletes so far ..... I don't want to offend of our Chinese members here in totallympics or anywhere else ..... But what if a Chinese athlete or team member gets covid positive? Will it be released into the world of media or social media? Can everybody be sure that Chinese authorities will not just try to cover the positive covid test result and let the athlete compete because he/she is a medal contestant? Me, after living in China for almost 7 years, I have always been hoping for the good changes. And as I see some pre-Olympic feedback from athletes and others, it looks good. I just truly hope everything will stay FAIR PLAY from the Chinese side. Because I honestly wish them to organize successful Olympics in fair play spirit without any cover ups..... Nobody is interested in second Sochi and their "sample swapping game" .... So I truly hope for their fair play Games by all means. Because this is the only way, how they can earn more respect from the entire world.
加油· !!
You do know how strict China is when it comes to the virus, they lock doen a city for one month until the virus is wiped out. Citizens are very compliant at the restrictions there. No wonder their athletes dont test positive, their athletes takes the threat of the virus seriously.
ExpandGrand total of 10 athletes between these nations. Many of them 0, including Tajikistan with all those magnificant mountains....
You have to admit that the high number of leaders attending Beijing is shocking if you consider the omicron threat and the boycott push from the west. Just shows how powerful China is becoming.
If your countries have tens of thousands of cases and even hundreds of thousands daily like some countries in europe and north america, then the Chinese tests are definitely accurate for athletes from such countries. Please understand that there will be no special treatment in Beijing since such testing is necessary for the safety of the Chinese people.
Russia, the 5 Central Asian countries, Singapore, Cambodia, Thailand, UAE, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Poland, Luxembourg, Serbia, Monaco, Argentina, Ecuador, Mongolia, Pakistan, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Papua New Guinea, Azerbaijan, Greece will send their leaders to the Beijing opening ceremony. Others may follow.

Weightlifting Euro starts today and will be the last with the bloated 10 categories. Karlos Nasar will be here, even though he had some shoulder issues and they were thinking of doing an operation, but looks like things were fixed without one. He is going up to the 96 kg weight, so people at 89 will be very happy to see that Especially one host competitor named Marin Robu. Don't know in what form Nasar will be and if he has been thinking about attacking the 96 world record or just play it safe with getting the gold.
