What is your opinion on the Olympics itself and the things surrounding it? Any sports that you plan on watching or people you plan to support?

Right now a few controversies are the heat wave surrounding London and that no one but the UK team has AC. Fair or Unfair?

The 8 months pregnant shooter who is defying doctors orders not to fly at 35 weeks pregnant to participate in the pistol portion of the competition. Should women in their 3rd trimester even be allowed to participate in the Olympics?

The Judo federation banning women from competing in their traditional and required hijab. Should this really be an issue?

I think the AC thing is unfair since heat does fatigue a person. Also it could affect sleep which would put the UK at an unfair advantage depending on how hot it actually is. I have to sleep underneath a blanket...which means I would nead that AC

The shooter's sport isn't extremely physically demanding and should be allowed to compete if she's willing to risk giving birth on a plane and if the company is okay with that risk on their plane.

Unless, hijab means different from what I think it does, it could be a detriment to the people wearing it. Judo has grabbing techniques right? Wearing something like that makes you easier to grab (and possibly easier to slip away depending on the material) and that's unfair. Plain and simple. They're trying to keep it equal. And the majority is usually considered more over the minority. It's easier for few to wear something different than for everyone else to (and I don't know how easy or hard those are to work with or put on so asking others to wear it would be a detriment to them so they couldn't use their full skills and abilities)

Ashy they are in a heat wave right now, otherwise I would agree.

30c is not a heat wave ><

its not going to disadvantage nations that are between the two tropics, just cold nations

30C without a got fan or three, I'd want air conditioning. Because, at least here, 86 degrees is still pretty warm because of this nasty thing called humidity. So depending on the humidity, it could be a detriment to people especially since first world countries tend to live in a very controlled climate all year long.
