These Olympics was something to forget these horrible two years and i really enjoyed them! My country's 4 medals was at least something to be happy about while we experience the most catastrophic fires ever😢

Who sadly never gets mentioned is Anna Kiesenhofer. She is an amateur cyclist who won gold against all odds. Her day job is mathematican.

I think that the image of Tunisia’s Ahmed Hafnaoui, screaming in the pool after he realized he won the gold medal should be in the top of this post. My favourite moment of the Olympics this year.

I’m not super into the Olympics, but it’s so great seeing how overjoyed these people are. They work so hard, and i know the past year has been tough on them with not knowing if the Olympics will happen at all and having the qualifying stuff all messed up since the date got moved.

It figures, there's no photo of Jasmine Camacho Quinn who won gold in women's 100m hurdles. She ran for Puerto Rico, her mother's birthplace. Puerto Rico doesn't seem to count.

So... *sarcasm* Thanks for not having Canada in here *at all* despite.... the soccer/football gold... first gold in women's soccer **ever**. Also... yeah... our superhuman who won the decathlon? DEC... that's TEN THINGS he did GOLD in. Also... speaking of mental health... Clara Hughes, Canadian Olympian... been doing the "Let's Talk" campaign for YEARS... orrrr... I dunno... the fact that Andre De Grasse won gold in the 200m.... AND has medaled in *every final* he's been in? I dunno.... It's almost like... they want to pretend we don't exist...

You forgot to put up a picture of Amand Mondo Duplantis winning the pole vault gold medal... Puma has supported him by donating its complete line of sports socks since he is a popular influencer. The compression socks give enough support to his calf muscles to get an extra few tenths of a centimeter in his jumps... There are a lot of subtle performance advantages to wearing compression socks, which can make a lot of difference for a competitive athlete. The few millimeters difference is just enough to earn him the gold medal and to own the world record. And by the way, Mondo looks surprisingly cool in his rockin' tall socks. This shorty shorts plus tall socks combo was a popular style among young men in the 70s & early 80s. You never see that style anymore. He doesn't wear that style casually when he is not on the job at the track. Do a Google Image search for Armand Duplantis Olympics to see what I mean.

Missing pics of Margielyn Didal having fun even though she didn't won any medal in Womens skateboarding

I read a very disturbing article regarding Chinese children as young as four training for the olympics https://www.news.com.au/world/asia/inside-chinas-gold-at-any-cost-olympics-machine-with-kids-as-young-as-four-forced-to-train/news-story/fc146c8b8d47dff39cd620576f32352b . The tears rolling down their faces just breaks my heart. I’m happy for the athletes that are following their dreams, but I wonder how many children are forced into this industry at such a young age.

Speaking as an American, and we are largely to blame. It is an absolute shame that the majority Olympians who have dedicated their lives and sacrificed so much have had to take a back-seat to a handful of selfish people who needed to use this Olympics to air their political and social grievances. The pandemic was global, and affected every person on this planet. The Olympics was a perfect event for everyone to celebrate the recognition that we all feel joy and sorrow the same. A few bad apples.... Congrats to all the Olympians who went to Tokyo for the spirt it was intended.
