Kirsten  (kmcripn) Found this article on the HuffPo: 7 Sci-Fi Writers Predict The Future Of The Olympics
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/o...

Personally, I am looking forward to #3.

1. Climate change will cause the Winter Olympic Games to change drastically.
Madeline Ashby, author of Company Town

2. A new, more environmentally sustainable alternative to the Olympics will rise up.
Malka Ann Older, author of Infomocracy

3. Cheesy human interest stories will be replaced by a more immersive, athlete-controlled media experience.
S.B. Divya, author of Runtime

4. The Games will become a nostalgic ode to a time when humans were less scientifically perfect.
Max Gladstone, author of Four Roads Cross

5. And they will do so for the same reason we enjoy going to the movies or looking at art today.
Patrick Hemstreet, author of The God Wave

6. Or, it could go the other way, and corporations will sponsor athletes based on their DNA sequences.
Stacey Berg, author of Dissension

7. And each Olympic event will eventually handle issues of gender differently.
Ada Palmer, Too Like the Lightning

What do you think? Any other suggestions for the future?

Melodie (melodieco) | 5280 comments I can definitely see #1 in the not too distant future. #4 gave me a chuckle, but it wouldn't surprise me!

Yes, they've already had issues with having enough snow for ski events the last couple Olympics.
