Welcome to #Checkin for Friday, February, 04, 2022!

Good morning/evening/afternoon and welcome to today's #checkin. It's finally Friday again, :) Today the Winter Olympics in China start. I, personally, don't watch them and find it ridiculous considering the ecological impact and so on. What many people tend to forget is that bribery or doping at Olympic Games is nothing new, it existed since the ancient Greek Olympics

However, for many athletes it's a dream coming true. Still, I wish all the best for the athletes. Are you going to watch it? Are you doing winter sports?

I try to keep things light but this is your thread so … there’s always an element of randomness. Grab your beverage preference (pixel or not) and enjoy the space.

If we’ve missed you on this serendipitous who’s who list of active #CheckIn-eers and #CHECKIN visitors, just yell! 💕

Since Ancient Greece, the Olympics and bribery have gone hand in hand

When fame and glory are at stake, human nature seems to dictate that some people will cheat.
