I didn't actually want to watch the skating anyhow. Oddly, it used to kinda amuse me, but not lately. Everything is just so technical now. Our understanding of human physiology has advanced and with it so has sports medicine. Humans are now doing things they'd only dreamed of years ago. Where one might spin twice, they're now spinning four or even six times. In sports like snowboarding or skiing, some of them have been winning since they were like 13 and only had a few years to get good - they do things like practice on top of giant airbags.
I dunno... I think I'd like to see an Olympics where humans were encouraged to augment their bodies with drugs and mechanics, like roid-raging cyborgs....
It'd not be that much of a change from today.
I think they are all doping already
They'd be hard pressed to - and get away with it.
They're coming as close as they can to 'doping', however. The screening is really intense these days and the oversight is absurd.
A version where they're openly doping would be awesome. Man, imagine if you could rail a couple of lines of coke before you did your deadlift?
It would be interesting for sure. People would definitely take it too far
