Burke: Olympics history is clouded with poor location choices, waste

Callum Burke, Collegian Columnist • March 3, 2022
As you know, the Winter Olympic games are an event where the world’s top winter sport athletes compete for the gold medal in their desired event. Every four years the National Olympic Committee decides which country and cities will host the Olympic games. The issue is that, time and time again, the countries and cities chosen to host the Winter Olympic games have brought with them countless issues. Even as recent as this year in Beijing, the city presented quite a few problems of their own. While diving into all these pitfalls lightly, we are going to look at a few other bizarre Olympic location fails in history.

Local songs to welcome back the spring sunshine

Maddy Erskine, Arts and Culture Editor • March 3, 2022

Lucky for us, we've got lots of local music to blast. Here is a playlist of my favorite songs for soaking in the spring sun and breathing in the fresh, no-longer-freezing air.

Tusinski: Not even Wordle is safe from mobile industry monopolization

Dylan Tusinski, Collegian Columnist • March 3, 2022
Since lockdowns started nearly two years ago, there has been a myriad of pandemic-induced internet obsessions. "Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness," do it yourself sourdough starters and puzzles were some of the first ones to captivate the quarantined masses, but even as restrictions lift and life slowly creeps back to normal, there's a new addition to tack onto the list: Wordle. For the uninitiated, Wordle is pretty simple. It's a game in which you try to guess a five-letter word in only six guesses. It was developed by a lone software developer named Josh Wardle and was meant to be a fun daily game for his family and friends.

Stella: Denver should consider hosting the 2034 Olympic Games

Michael Stella, Collegian Columnist • March 2, 2022
After the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, where artificial snow was used for every event that requires snow, the winter games need to be hosted in a true winter destination that is renowned for their winter sports. Thus, Denver, "Ski Country USA," should host the 2034 Winter Olympics.  Denver was awarded the Winter Olympic Games, to happen in 1976, but a ballot initiative by voters struck it down due to the high price tag associated with hosting the games. The Olympics have faced criticism for these extreme costs, and the games often leave behind infrastructure that does not get used again once the less than three-week event is over.
