So amid the salty caramel popcorn, loud cheers and tears of disappointment, people are taking their emotions and laying them all out in these funny tweets that we collected below. So let’s get that Tokyo Olympics vibe up and rolling, and be sure to upvote your favorite ones!

After you’re done, I totally recommend you check out our previous post with crazy photos of Olympians and other athletes that will give you an entirely new perspective on the human body and its capabilities. No amount of respect is too much for these incredible people!

I read that wrong.... I thought it said she didn't win the gold because she didn't wear her glasses (goggles) in the pool and I was like what in the actual fk kind of rule is that??? Then I re read it and went ohhhh. Maybe I need glasses.

She had been adopted from a Chinese orphanage, abandoned there most likely due to their "1 child policy". Weibo has been hopping with comments about her "Chinese heritage", her win is a win for China, etc... As well as people pointing out she probably wouldn't have had the opportunities she has in Canada, and thus may not have even been on the Chinese team! She says, well, I was born in China, that's about it. I'm Canadian!

    I would just love it if cannon balling was part of the Olympic diving. Or they did it at the end and f the games for fun. The same with every sport. Just find the fun part of the sport and do it. It would be a great way to let off steam and just really enjoy yourselves.

    Over the years, they've added sports that ppl didn't alway think were for the Olympics. (Most recent being skateboarding.) It's great they did this! If they let the athletes do a "for fun" at the end, try diff sports, do cannon balls in the pool, etc., I totally think more ppl would watch. Many watch already, but this would get even more watchers. It's superb idea! How do we make it happen?!

    For cannonball competition, there should be 3 clean and dry judges sitting poolside. Highest points for the wettest judges. And pick judges from other sports too.

But Abhinc is right, there are definitely downsides to it, and to living there. It's amazing to visit though. But no where is perfect.... everywhere has its flaws. That said there are a lot of things they do better than other places.. some others not so much.

    With so many fans not being able to attend the Olympics this year, the post-pandemic sports event seems very different from what we were used to. Just like most professional sports, Olympic events feed off crowd energy that transfers onto the screens for viewers at home.

    Commenting on the very different kind of Olympic experience this year, Rick Burton, a professor of sport management at Syracuse University and the former chief marketing officer of the US Olympic Committee for the 2008 Beijing games, called the experience “sterile.” “The sponsors are going to be thinking the ratings will be down. They’re worried they’re not going to get their money’s worth,” he added.

    A lot of thought has to go into transporting a horse anywhere, but with the Olympics it's inevitable that it will include air transport. You also have to think about which host city the Olympics are being held in. When Melbourne held their Games in 1956, Australia has very strict quarantine laws regarding animals entering g the country, so all the Equestrian events were held in Stockholm. In Beijing for the 2008 Games, because of the high levels of air pollution, they moved the Equestrian events to Hong Kong.

    Have you ever seen a fat rider at this level? It's hard work for the rider, and takes decades of training to be able to ride at this level. Many riders also have several horses in training at one time. The rider isn't just plopped in the saddle, they are sat carefully, giving subtle cues to the horse at the proper time, feeling what the horse is doing so they can give the cues at the right time so the horse does the maneuver smoothly. And that's"just" dressage. 3 day eventing, which is like horse moto cross, is rough, and even show jumping in the ring is a challenge!

    Moreover, sports psychologists are now observing an Olympics without fans as a real-life science experiment. It’s thought to help researchers and clinicians to measure the impact of a crowd of fans on its players—and on spectators at home. The unprecedented times offer an entirely new glimpse into what is the social and psychological makeup of the Olympic Games and how the competing athletes are affected by it.

    Surfing is one of those sports I pretty much just watch every 4 years. Gold medalist Carissa Moore's performance was one of the best athletic feats I've seen so far. It looked like she was going 200 mph and there was no chance she could ever change directions without her board exploding. Then she'd do a complete 270 degree turn and keep all her speed. The gold medal match looked like Jordan playing me in basketball.

    Most skaters are really slim because having extra mass makes it harder to perform the required motions. Big leg muscles might help you ollie higher but they get in the way when you need to quickly switch the position of your feet in any number of directions. But you better believe they have crazy muscle tone their core strength is superb. Also, they are as tough as they come, skateboarding injuries are really painful at that level.

    Some athletes have already stressed the pressure that’s been building for not having an audience of spectators. On Tuesday, superstar gymnast Simone Biles dropped out of the women’s team event, blaming “not the right headspace” for competition. “It’s been really stressful this Olympic Games. Just as a whole, not having an audience. There are a lot of different variables going into it,’ she told the Washington Post.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The findings made on viewers’ engagement also show that sports without fans may be way less enjoyable. Kantar, a research firm that measures consumer enthusiasm, found that two-third of American sports spectators announced that watching sports during the pandemic was not as engaging and enjoyable. “[The Olympics] could be a little bit less engaging, a little bit less fulfilling for the viewer,” Ryan McConnell, Kantar’s senior vice president for consulting, told Quartz.

    Ms. Biles did the correct thing for herself AND the team. She "lost" her "way" and she could have hurt herself, physically, destroying her abilities for the rest of her life. In addition, she allowed another American to take her place instead of ensuring a total defeat for the team.

    I love watching so many of the small countries' athletes putting it all on the line with no chance but to defend their pride. During the women's mountain bike competition I watched the Namibia's entry get lapped by the eventual gold medal winner. She was pedaling up that hill like she was defending a 10 minute lead. I had to look her up (Michelle Vorster) - she's a 42 year old who is truly the best at what she does in her country and is proud to represent them.

    What article is your comment about? This is about Russia being banned from the Olympic Games due to doping accusations. But to be fair, the athletes that were not involved in the accusations were allowed to compete under another name: COR. The meme could be another image, but 100% sure has nothing to do with someone wearing burkas.

    Surfing and skateboarding are not only fun to watch, but imo require quite a lot of athleticism. More than golf, shooting or horseriding.

    sometimes they have to stretch the definition of 'host city' a bit. So for the Paris olympics in 2024 I believe the surfing will be in Tahiti (French Polynesia) - about 9000 miles from Paris.

    One of the things I am actually thrilled about is watching the Russians aka Russian Olympic Federation [or something] win medals. It is exciting because they are really committed to doing this without government accreditation or the government forcing them. They are really great. I used to "want" them to lose because it was a "political" thing and because they cheated so much, but these participants are what being Olympic players should be.

    And what this meme is referring to, is she has 2 things she does that almost litterally if she even completes them poorly (she is the only person to have ever done either of them), their difficulty is so high, she'd win. They said their weren't going to giver her credit for how difficult they were, to give other gymnasts a chance. People that like to poop on her success say she left in protest of this decision. One of them could easily leave the gymnast paralyzed with the smallest misstep. So was she pouting, not willing to risk it for no recognition, or actually worried about breaking her neck, you decide.

    That girl deserves better. Better from the people in the Olympics who have the power to make decisions that affected how she was scored differently and better from the people at home. I don't know what she was going through, I can't imagine but if she decided to walk away she didn't make that decision lightly. Think of all the blood ,sweat, and tears over her entire career and walking away from all of that. I love her more for respecting herself and knowing that she needed to walk away for her own well-being.

    Coolest thing I did at 13 was a trick on a bike that later caused me severe pain (when I landed) and would have made Tony Hawk laugh, b/c he could do it on a skateboard. So, yeah, no coolness whatsoever.

    The cool thing about Tony is that he would have totally come over to peel you up off the floor and teach you how to do it. That guy is a legend and I have mad respect for him.

    It's the individual countries' own responsibility currently. I agree that there should be a general age limit.

    I turned 13 in Wellington, New Zealand (for a girl from a rural town in North Dakota, it was a big deal) while I was on a student ambassador trip and that will probably be the coolest thing I'll ever have happen.

    Yes, yes you do. If you haven't then you don't have a clue as to what is going on, in fact, you really need to go to the library and watch all the earlier ones, though you are going to have a little trouble finding the Grecian Olympics for 400 BC.

    Le me tell you my thoughts on Simone Biles. She's not a robot. She's a high-performance athlete. If she doesn't want to compete for any reason, its perfectly ok for her not to. Expecting athletes to break themselves for our amusement and perform on command is an incredibly misanthropic attitude.

    Because most countries don't accept Taiwan as a country. Doing so would greatly damage their relationship with China. I.e. Taiwan is officially a part of China. But putting a Chinese flag next to Taiwanese athlete's name would insult Taiwan. So no flag is better than an international scandal or worse, a war because of Twitter post.

    Trust me on this, China doesn't "need" an excuse, war IS coming. What I do not understand is "Hong Kong" having a team,. since China says there is NO Hong Kong other than the city.
