When South Korea prepared to host the 2018 Winter Olympics they dedicated a reported $109 million to build Pyeongchang Olympic Stadium. By modern standards, that’s chump change for a sports venue built to accommodate 35,000 spectators. The catch was that Korean officials never intended for the structure to be used outside of the 17-day international event. So once the Games left Pyeongchang, the stadium was demolished. According to a study by the University of Michigan, South Korea’s Olympic venue cost around $10 million per hour.

Hawaii State

Tahiti is a place littered with reefs. It’s home to one of the best waves on the planet: Teahupo’o. That, of course, is the wave that will play host to the Olympic Games, so the World Surf League thought it might be a good time to break down the wave.

Deconstructing Teahupo’o: ‘It Could Kill You, and That’s the Truth’

A few months ago, an interview I published with German Olympic surfer Tim Elter got surf fans (and some pro surfers) riled up. Comment sections lit up with claims that I was delusional for merely suggesting that Elter “could surprise people” at the Olympics in Teahupo’o. I...

Who Will Be the Olympic Surfing Underdogs That Rise to the Occasion at Teahupo’o?

For years we’ve all debated topics that revolve around the surf forecast for the 2024 Olympics. If it’s too big, will they run? How big is too big? If it’s too small, the field of medal contenders will considerably widen. Will we get a classic day of overhead Teahupo’o tubes that will give us the John John versus Medina shootout we’re all subconsciously rooting for?

Here’s What the Locals Are Saying About the Olympic Surf Forecast for Teahupo’o

In January 1811, Charles Deslondes, a slave living on a plantation in the German Coast Region of the Louisiana Territory led a small army of slaves in an uprising. Marching in military formation toward New Orleans, the army killed at least two people and burned plantation buildings and fields. Louisiana Militia ended the rebellion, which ultimately led to the brutal deaths and treatment of participants in the uprising and the tightening of Slave Codes.
