Olympic runners are breaking world records because there are no fans to suck the oxygen out of the stadium

If there's no crowd at all, does that mean that there's more oxygen for the people to breathe on the track? ... They're sucking all the oxygen out normally, but when there's no fans there, it's a richer environment for especially distance runners to be able to breathe more efficiently.

Fact Claim Olympics Fire

The presence of fans in an open-air stadium does not significantly deplete oxygen levels for athletes. Records were likely due to new shoe technology and track surfaces.

The 2018 Winter Olympics have been the least viral Olympics of all time

I have no stats to back this up, but these have been the least viral Olympics of all time... Not letting people tweet in Instagram clips. Otherwise, you take their accounts down. So dumb. I tried to look at people for highlights of the hockey game, and it was just tweets.

Fact Claim Media Medium

While PFT admits he has no stats, the 2018 PyeongChang games did see a decline in traditional viewership and significant criticism for strict social media rights enforcement.
