“ PITA TAUFATOFUA IS INNOCENT. Cesar Baena, from the Banana Republic of Venezuela, seems jealous of Pita's popularity as a sexy flag bearer, that he "believes Taufatofua cheated the system." How so? He posted no evidence to this claim.
Fact 1: Pita did not crash the Winer Olympics; he tried out and was given a passing grade by the Winter Olympics Committee to compete.
Fact 2: Banana eating Cesar Baena needs snow to train for cross country skiing. That's his personal problem. Is there a requirement that one trains in snow to qualify for a Winter Olympics event? Did the Jamaican bobsledders train in snow, or is there snow in Jamaica?
Fact 3: Training to ski could be done on water skiing boards, too. I learned to water ski in Tonga as a teenager before trying downhill and cross country skiing in Alaska later in life. Pita chose to train on roller skates. The skills are the same, and I had no problems on the slopes or out cross country skiing. I had not lost the skills to balance myself on skiis.
Cesar Baena needs to go suck on a banana, or whatever, rather than mocking Pita who completed the requirements to qualify to compete in South Korea fair and square. ”
