3. Pommel Horse Guy
Team USA’s Stephen Nedoroscik is the ultimate sleeper agent and a new internet sensation!
Obsessed with this guy on the US men's gymnastics team who's only job is pommel horse, so he just sits there until he's activated like a sleeper agent, whips off his glasses like Clark Kent and does a pommel horse routine that helps deliver the team its first medal in 16 years. pic.twitter.com/0D1ZqJjFa1

4. Get that bread? No! Get that cheese.
Italian Olympic gymnast Giorgia Villa is the hero we didn’t ask for but definitely need in our lives.

6. Choose your fighter
From pistol shooters to gymnasts, every single one of these athletes is a force to be reckoned with. Who do you want on your team?
7. Well…somebody had to say it.

Team USA’s uniforms make them look like bullies from a very expensive private school. Which…accurate.

8. Seriously. Who thought this was a good idea?

One thing every athlete should do on the eve of the biggest physical contest of their lives is take a three hour evening boat ride in the pouring rain

9. Are you Team “Korean Robocop” or Team “Woke Up And Decided To Join The Olympics Today”?
Pistol shooters Kim Ye Ji and Yusuf Dikeç deserve their own cinematic universes. End of story.
I know everyone is loving the South Korean pistol shooter in the Olympics with robocop vibes. I present you the Turkish pistol shooter. 51 years old. Flip flops, hands in pocket. He would’ve lit a cigarette if he could. My vibe.
