So it's certainly varied because of COVID, and most winter Olympics have two villages.

I can confirm that in RIO, it was FUUUUCKED! I got lucky a lot in Pyeongchang, but Covid, hampered that ability. I got laid once, but most people didn't even bother to see each other because of COVID.

Also, most Olympians who were married, engaged or had S/O DEFINITELY CHEATED!

Curling dudes are hella aggressive

This will be a long-winded answer, but I have struggled a lot with something called a post-Olympic crash and attempted suicide before my first games. There are not a lot of resources available right now for athletes transitioning out of the sport, and you have to put a lot of things on the backburner. Many of my relationships (including an engagement) have failed because of it, and I didn't even get my high school certification until 20.

Mentally though I am in a better place and have an excellent triving career outside my sport, I also have very supportive systems and made sure that was in place before I tried again for another Olympics. I also finished two undergraduate degrees before Beijing, and I am working on my master's now. Just so I am prepared for the future and know I can have a life if things don't work out.

After the Russian scandal, WADA and ITA are on everyone's ass so it's hard to cheat now!

In my sport, doping isn't really a thing, but I do some athletes that pretended to have a medical condition so they can get a TUE (therapeutic usage exemption) and take certain prohibited drugs. Adderall is one

Yes!

I dated an equestrian, and the toxicity and money power are unbelievable in that sport. Her friends and family looked down on mine on my sport. I know figure skaters and other very posh sports can be that way. In my sport, I noticed that if you do not come from money (eg: making +400k/YEAR), nobody talks to you. It's disappointing
