@royaards Looks like the Winter Olympics equivalent of Qatar's corrupt and inhumane World Cup that should never have been. #FuckFIFA

@royaards once we collapse the ocean streams, we can have a winter olympic in the UK

@DrorBedrack yes, that's the other scenario (but way more difficult to make a cartoon about).

@royaards it's already like that. There are estimates that a percentage between 85% and 95% of the snow deployed in the current Winter Olympics is artificial: https://www.bbc.co.uk/future/article/20260206-why-its-becoming-harder-to-compete-at-the-winter-olympics
'The margin of manoeuvre is that much tighter': Why it's becoming harder to compete at the Winter Olympics

A warming climate and the use of artificial snow is making it more dangerous and difficult to compete at the Winter Olympics.

@royaards You inspired me with this cartoon to look up the winter olympic games 2029 in Saudi-arabia. Looks like it is now in Kazakhstan. https://www.reuters.com/sports/kazakhstan-replaces-saudi-arabia-host-2029-asian-winter-games-2026-02-05/
