Our Reading

The game followed a familiar script.

Another Winter Olympics, another bout of sabotage. It’s like clockwork, except it’s not clockwork, it’s actually pretty scary.

The Italian government tries to boost security, but it’s not enough to prevent these incidents from happening.

You can’t help but wonder what’s going to happen next, and whether anyone will actually get caught.

This is what we’ve come to expect from these events – a little chaos, a little fear, and a whole lot of uncertainty.

It’s a reminder that even with all the security measures in place, there’s always a chance something will go wrong.

Original observation: The Olympics have become a breeding ground for these kinds of incidents, and it’s only a matter of time before something more serious happens.
