He made it up, apparently they got into a fight with the store owner because the Olympian broke the door, and the store owner wanted them to pay for it.

A really lovely thing to do, but really in the grand scheme of Rio de Janeiro crime, it's like jaywalking.

That's literally their warmup and per-competition flourish. They all do some dramatic intro like that, get introduced, then dive in the water and do their act. I watched a bunch of it a few days ago while really toasted at 4 in the morning. The japanese team that medaled was loving incredible.

Woman I work with's kid trains at the same place as most of those swimmers in Bethesda, at least the kids in their early 20s. She confirmed to me that they're all incredible douchebags and that going to the Olympics is just going to make them worse.

That's still enlisted as gently caress though.

Young people who spend most of their time being called heroes for no good reason and doing PT. Pretty much the same, really.

i wish.

The modern penathlon seems pretty easy to get into. I can run the ~5:40 minute miles required, and I can shave 10 seconds off my 200M swim time. I'd really just have to learn how to ride horses and fortunately my wife is a pro english equestrian competitor.

Oh and fencing, but how hard can that stupid poo poo be?

Do you like muskets?
I remember watching the Beijing Olympics and they were talking about one of the women on the US archery team. She'd only been involved with archery for 4 years.

Granted she probably did nothing BUT archery for 4 years, but that's still a possibility.

Whether or not being in the Olympics for archery is good enough to get you into bed with, like, a swimmer or something is another story.

I'm pretty sure the military supplies a lot of athletes for the shooting competition, and I think there's probably a couple of sports out there that with enough dedication it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility to have some chance of getting in if you weren't blessed with some god-like genetics.

I guess we could talk about the winter olympics but i don't think people really consider the winter olympics to actually be a "thing"

I'd probably try for winter olympics tbh, luge seems pretty "easy" other than spending the money to train or whatever.

maybe you could do street luge to practice in the Van's Xtreme Mtn Dew MTV Summer Jam

When I was in the Australian Army Reserve we provided security (we checked passes and mirrored the bottom of cars etc) for the Sydney Olympics. It was an absolute fuckfest in the best way possible. Who knew that tourists in their early 20s would want to get busy on the other side of the planet with no consequences or attachments in a city that turns into a two-week party.

That being said, a dude in another company ended up marrying a Spanish chick he met there, which is pretty cool.
