[00:53:22] <exec> 08└─All athletes naked (olive oil optional), fed the same food for the few weeks preceding the Olympics, sleeping together in dorms, getting randomized identical equipment, no sex/weight categories... Fair and simple sports, therefore the complete opposite of what the games have become.
