Gojira and the beheaded Marie Antoinette needs to be included. The Korean sharpshooter too. Also, what is the Chinese athlete holding on the leftmost, second-to-the-last row?

I’ve never wanted to be a round of cheese more XD

Varyk ,

Is that a cheese wheel?

Yup, that Italian athlete is sponsored by Parmesan

Nothing’s surprising anymore.

Varyk ,

hahha what a perfect gif for that sentiment

Agent641 ,

Why do they give them individually boxed giant novelty cigarettes?

Oh right, France.

I don’t know what is actually going on, but I’m interested in the Olympic level giant wedge of cheese hugging competition.

dylanmorgan ,

Technically not an Olympics photo. She’s an Italian gymnast who does promo for Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. That’s an ad she did.

I would have used the headless singer to represent the opening ceremony.

I have heard nothing about the Olympics this year aside from the shooting competition. It’s very weird.

Blaze OP ,

!olympics had most of the discussion

simple ,

It was still relatively popular but the olympics has been in decline due to being shackled behind paid cable channels. Everybody’s moved to streaming but apparently they didn’t get the memo. Just knowing where you can find the olympics is such a nightmare they have a giant table explaining which channel you should go to depending on where you live

kagrocery ,

No, they got the memo. At least in the US, the Peacock app had every single event broken out into live events, replays and highlights. Or you could watch the gold medal stream and just mainline finals. They did a pretty good job, IMO.

dylanmorgan ,

That’s what I heard from friends who were watching, they said it was a massive improvement over the last Games.

In Europe HBO covered it, I think you could even get a free trial during the Olympics if you didn't have an account from before. My partner has an account so I didn't check.

It worked great, and it was nice to easily change the language of the commentary. Really couldn't have asked for a better viewing experience, as I don't want public broadcasters to support this corruption shit show.

That said, it bothers me that it's impossible to find clips online.

lol the cookie accept prompt on that site:

ARE YOU HAPPY TO ACCEPT COOKIES?

Yes, I am happy

No, manage settings

HenriVolney ,

Hère un France they had almost all the sports on the two public channels, everyday for two weeks. Impossible to miss.

drmoose ,

As much as I despise the Olympics it does some entertaining moments!

Beacon ,

According to who? Because i don't recognize most of these, and i don't see some that are very shared like bad breakdancing woman

Clusterfck ,

Yeah, my first thought was it was missing the dude whose dick cost him a medal.

His big dong messed up his pole vault attempt and knocked the bar

Bonesince1997 ,

There was major meat malfunction is what he’s saying

Plopp ,

He should have kept his pole in a vault during competition.

groet ,

Isnt that several years old? Or did it happen again?

CHOPSTEEQ ,

It literally happens every Olympics and people lose their mind every time. Same with “funny shooting stance” memes.

xaera ,

Damn you beat me to it. That’s all I know about this year’s Olympics

dylanmorgan ,

Apparently if you watch the replay it’s clear that he had already failed his attempt before his bulge hit.

GeneralEmergency ,

According to who?

Other people? I know that’s a foreign concept to people here. That other people exist, but it’s true. There’s over a million of us. Crazy right.

Beacon ,

If by other people you mean something like the PR firm of the IOC, then sure. The word "popular" doesn't just mean "something one person or entity prefers"

WarlockLawyer ,

Pole vault dick and break dancer are videos, not still images. Maybe that will be a different category

Beacon ,

No they're definitely highly shared still images

Geometrinen_Gepardi ,

What’s happening in the first picture on the fourth row?

Jackthelad ,

It’s from the badminton. The Chinese player was in the semi-final against Carolina Marin of Spain. Marin had won the first game and was leading in the second before having to retire injured.

So He Bingjiao held up a pin with the Spanish flag on it as a mark of respect for Marin, who should really have been in her place on the podium.

Yondoza ,

Always warms my heart to see the amount of respect these athletes have for their competitors. Sometimes people are awesome!

Jackthelad ,

Well, it’s all part of the Olympic spirit and what it’s all supposed to be about.

Competing at a high level but with graciousness and respect for each other.
