Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

For the Canadian guy, his coaches questioned his dedication to the sport because he was trying to form an internet business. The business was a huge success (Spam, though, so boo!) and he's still a top ranked skiier, so he had to carve his own path and go to Australia.
There was a lot of talk about him yesterday. He absolutely refuses to talk to the Canadian press, he refuses to talk about the nature of his company, and lots of reports who called him emotionless. He seems a little off.
I say, "Suck it, Australian internet spam guy."

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I used to get my hair cut by a then-member of the Canadian Olympic basketball team. While "boo! Hiss!" to the skier's choice of entrepreneurship, best to hang onto the day job.
New phone gets better coverage than the old one, by far. Normally I'd have to be on wifi in here. Team TMobile +1.
Of course, dilaudid+new OS+new keyboard=really slow.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
He was clearly trying to make himself as small as possible, but it was a very squished trip. I wonder if they would have kicked him off?
No, because it's not "his fault", it's just the way he's built, unlike fatties, who could lose that weight just like that, if they really wanted to! Because being fat is awesome and the only reason people stay fat is because how great it is.
ita, I totally hear you about the horribleness of people in your space- I hate it too, my point was just that it's not just fat people who do it, and it sucks no matter what the reason.
Man, I'm grumpy today. I don't know why- I'm at home.
