The ending to Spain-Australia has pissed me off more than anything in the olympics since crosby.

That'd be Tokyo. Just like in Akira.

Don't forget about Pyonchang, which is hosting the real money-sink.

Vogue Brazil are doing some campaign photos for the Paralympics. Apparently they decided the best way to do that is to take photos of able-bodied models. Then take photos of Paralympians. Then photoshop the Paralympians disabilities onto the able-bodied models.

Who the hell that was a good idea?
