"The sport-adjacent drama has been the real story of this year's Winter Olympics in Milan. Despite RTE's lacklustre Winter Olympics coverage, I have become completely enthralled in it. Not only by the sport but also for all the off-piste, behind-the-scenes, sport-adjacent drama. And by jove, there has been a cornucopia of it this year, from cheating confessions and allegations, to 'penisgate'."
"And by jove, there has been a cornucopia of it this year, from cheating confessions and allegations, to 'penisgate'."
RTE provided lacklustre coverage of the Winter Olympics in Milan. Off-piste, behind-the-scenes drama has attracted significant attention alongside athletic competition. The drama has included a wide array of incidents, from cheating confessions and allegations to a controversy labeled 'penisgate'. The sport-adjacent stories have generated ongoing public interest and commentary. Media focus and audience engagement have often centered on these scandals rather than purely on sporting performances. The prominence of off-field controversies has shaped perceptions of the Games and become a dominant narrative thread throughout the Milan Winter Olympics.
