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

@Tago-Mago …so if a male athlete happens to get an erection right before they make their attempt at the ski jump, is that an unfair advantage.

This all reminds me of one of the funniest scenes I may have ever seen:

Matt

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

Tago Mago

I feel like we're mixing sports metaphors here. Only one missing is pole vault

@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

taking part is everything

Although for the male athletes this is the one activity during the Olympics where coming first is not the target.

Tago Mago

Some have a win at all costs mentality

Bridger

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.

…one last question; when in the heat of an argument, your better half calls you a f’n loser, is that a insult or compliment?

Tago Mago

@Matt third in a race of two isn’t that great tbh

Tago Mago

@goosehd she married you. Who’s the loser now?

Tago Mago

I am basing this on the logic that the better half is calling „you“ a fucking loser. Obviously I do not endorse this position
