Bronze? Loser!

Mine is usually sheer horror at the prospect of getting that far and screwing up on an international stage. Secondhand anxiety is in the red zone.
I seriously dislike that some of the Olympic games end in around 5 minutes. Imagine spending years practicing fencing and then end up getting zero medals just because you had a bad few rounds.
Yep. Its like finals. You get your one-shot to get it right. Else you have to rebuild to try the next 4 years after. You get to the Olympics means you are the best of the best. And winning a medal is literally 3 out of 7 Billion human beings.
So you prepare and prepare and hope you do it all with less errors than the other guys.
Me when a UFC fighter is held down by a wrestler: bro get up!
For real though, why would Green shoot last night?
The only reason he shot was because he heard that I placed a $15 bet on him winning by ko
As you all know first prize is a Cadillac El Dorado. Anyone wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired.
ABC!
I was at a bar in 2012 when McKayla Maroney botched her vault. I yelled "You suck!"
The thing is my friend worked there, and it was this restaurant on Capitol Hill in DC. I'm a metalhead, and I look the part. So, I stuck out like a sore thumb.
I definitely was the guy in this picture to everyone that day.
Idk, usually more how the announcers/commentors react
Especially cringey that so much of the coverage are just random celebrities and not more actual former Olympians.
I'm so old that I remember when the Olympics was on more than one channel. If one channel had bad chatter, you would just bend the aerial and turn the dial to get something better.
Me when the dressage horse starts with the wrong foot during the diagonal part
Wierd Al's Inactive seeps into the audio
Seeing a mountain biker and an equestrianeer both go down so hard that they took an involuntary nappy makes me feel a lot better about not going outside. Yes, I should play more video games.
