There are days when you need a laugh:

Is that hyaluronic acid in your pants or are you just happy to see me? Doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue

@Tago-Mago Just trying to be an Olympic Champion…

I thought the Olympic motto was citius, altius, fortius. No mention of durius

It can certainly with getting to the finish line quicker. “Finish line” now suddenly has more nuance to it.

@Tago-Mago is this what you mean?

@goosehd Some athletes are having a hard time dealing with this

goosehd

@Tago-Mago must be all of the pressure to perform well.

Tago Mago

@goosehd I’m sure they’ll find a way to relieve the pressure

For some male athletes just entering is reward enough

Matt

I’d be perfectly happy coming third.

It doesn’t matter if you win or lose, it’s how you play the game.
