These projects, though, they're always sold as the benefit for the local area once the Olympics leave.

And that'll be something that they can leave behind.

But I mean, that sounds like it's going to be the legacy of these games for better or worse.

Wow.

The price of a pretty selfie.

It could be high, right?

That's NPR international correspondent Ruth Sherlock.

Ruth, thanks a lot.

Thank you very much.

If you've ever seen the movie Cool Runnings, you know one of the major risks of sliding down the ice in a bobsled is crashing.

These athletes are racing over 80, sometimes 90 miles an hour, and a crash is brutal on the body and brain.

But there's a lesser known risk that's catching the attention of scientists, and that is the phenomenon known as sled head.

Here's my conversation with Emily Kwong, co-host of NPR's Science Podcast, Shortwave.

Oh, they are very nice.

Yeah.

Wow.

Very arty.

Very colorful as well.
