Five Rings
The Russian Olympic Committee has been banned from the 2018 Winter Games due to doping in the last events at Sochi, although an estimated 167 "clean" athletes can compete under a neutral flag.
North & South Korean hockey players will play together as a team and march under one flag. But the South athletes are not happy about this.
A sprinter from the 2016 games was exonerated from a doping charge explaining that the substance in his body was from the sinus medication taken by his girl friend and was the result of passionate kissing. The appeals court sided with the passionate "osculation" defense.
Due to time zone differences it appears most of our viewing will be in the evenings. The games leading off are "curling" - stay tuned.
