I WILL WATCH ZERO MINUTES OF THIS SHIT FEST!

I was thinking about the Olympics yesterday, and realized that the location can really affect the games. If the games are in a humid tropical climate, you're not going to see any records in the marathon, and the race is going to go to the best hot-weather runners. The jumpers may do better in high-altitude places like Mexico City (Bob Beamon, anyone?), but the endurance events won't. It seems like if you want to give the athletes their best performance, you should be holding the games in a dry sea-level location with temperatures in the 50s. Maybe some place like Ulaan Baatar or some place in central Sweden.
