    Why not show the gold medalists… Seeing as most never saw them, and they’ve got zero publicity compared to others.

      Because the Olympics aren’t good for anything but ruining nations and memes.

        Nope, it was Serbia’s Damir Mikec and Zorana Arunovic.

        Damir Mikec’s eye wear looked more like something made from lego technic:

        …and he’s gotten no love for having beaten all these meme based characters.

      Because they’re inferior in the minds of many.

      Silver almost best them with no equipment.

    So Turks just like to shoot with their hands in their pockets, I guess?

      They’re only allowed to use one hand, so the competitors always have their off hand tucked in or hooked onto their clothes so that arm can be relaxed and ignored.

        Got it, I’m honestly just riffing off another comment I saw a day ago that mentioned his hand in his pocket, I didn’t know they all did it. 🤣

    At first I thought he was a divorcee just trying to get his dog back but now that I know he’s a divorcee spending time with his daughter I like the story even more.

      It is mixed feelings about it. I don’t really care for it myself, and it puts countries in debt hosting them. There is always something that goes horribly wrong. I think every Olympic game, has had problems, small or huge.

      Who is downvoting you? I wouldn’t think that Lemmy would be into athletics or patriotism.
