The sad thing about this post is that 90% of people lack this kind of self-reflection, self-irony even more.

Currently, per the 1997 regulation, gymnasts must be at least 16 years of age, or turning 16 within the calendar year, to compete in senior-level events. For the current Olympic cycle, in order to compete in the 2016 Olympics, a gymnast must have a birth date before January 1, 2001. So Ima call b******t.

I heard the water temperature is lower in professional swimming pools. 15C or so?

I'm the Michael Phelps of not knowing when the Olympics are, apparently it's when there's an election.

That's a sign of a good Sit-N-Swipe. (Sit on the toilet while on your phone).

Seriously, I think this is the worst coverage of the Olympics ever. I didn't even want to watch the Gymnastics after I heard we won (even though I knew we would anyway). Show the stuff live and replay it later during prime time like they have for every other Olympics. I cant stand watching the replay of sports. Fricken Corporate Media.

Then if there's a recount they can have the Hamburglar run in and grab the medal back.

You'd think that advertisers would have figured out by now that NO ONE runs out and buys their product just because they interrupted what we're watching. If anything? I remember that! "Oh hey, you cut in on that Becky Lynch match I was watching the other night... I'll buy from your competitor instead of you".

My family probably couldn't even do it without making an offensive comment about someone on our own team.
