Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games 2018 News

Gus Kenworthy   (I would not have been surprised if American TV somehow turned away, but luckily they acted normal and didn't)

Obviously something like this should be normal instead of newsworthy (after all, we see athletes kissing their partners after a good performance all the time and this is exactly the same), but since it's still newsworthy, why not share it.

Two people got injured at the 'Holland Heineken House', when the men's pursuit team was celebrated for their bronze medal. People were making noise while they were being talked to by the host, which eventually lead to the athletes getting annoyed. Then, in a not so smart move, they kinda threw the 'stone'* into the audience, hurting two of them...it looks like they're alright (one as taken away by ambulance), but that wasn't very smart.

*every medal winner got one, which was then given to the audience, who moved it to the back of the room for it to go up on a wall

Uh-oh. I’m going there for the mass starts...

Any words of advice from a Dutchman?
