4. This woman who wouldn’t have had a clue about the Olympics if not for the commentator.
Thank goodness the commenter pointed out that the athletes came to the Olympics to win. Cleared up a lot of confusion for me.

6. This sad comparison of Olympian and son.
A 41 year old gymnast is competing in her 7th Olympics. I just texted my son and offered him $5 to come downstairs and hand me the remote.

17. This guy who really doesn’t like getting splashed.
Losing in swimming would be awful. Not only do you lose but you get splashed by the winner. Getting splashed sucks even when you're happy.
