@goosehd that made my eyes water!

[goosehd]

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

[Tago Mago]

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

[goosehd]

@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.

[goosehd]

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

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

[IrishHeart]

@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

[endo]

taking part is everything

[NickD]

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.

[goosehd]

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

[goosehd]

…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
