I guess we need a Summer Olympics thread…?

There should be a multi-discipline throwing event at every Olympics where you have to do a Shotput, Javelin, Discus, Hammer Throw, and a mystery item to throw that is revealed once the competition starts. Maybe it’s a golf ball, maybe it’s a paper airplane, maybe it’s an oversized stuffed animal, let them figure it out on the fly.

my partner said pointed it out, and i spent the rest of the time trying to come up with the right cripple joke.

something about hodor just throwing brandon over the bar FTMFW.

Track and field should be a wildcard. Maybe you have to throw a discus, maybe you have to sprint, you have to be prepared for anything.

„Sought to flee“ sounds like bs framing for someone who was ordered to return to her country for criticizing her team‘s coaches and when she did not comply they to use force. IIRC this even happened before she competed herself.
The headline makes it sound like she is some kind of traitor.

He won a gold. Medley relay, I believe.

Aw did he? Oops.

Forget track and field, just have a bingo cage of like 10,000 events and pick at random one every morning and afternoon.
