Snowball

As the Winter Olympics slalom away into the annals of sporting history, Washington Post columnist Sally Jenkins has a proper go at the IOC, with their (I love this quote) "blue blazers, five-star accommodations, and shellfish buffets".

Here's my favourite bit from the piece: "The IOC, confronted in Vancouver with a couple of lethal issues and fresh human rights concerns at the next Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, instead reserved some of its toughest words for this late-breaking scandal: the drinking of champagne by women in public."

Ouch.
