Fun memes from the 2024 Olympic Games, chosen by an Olympian

These Olympics were way more fun and spectacular than many could have anticipated, from the opening ceremony on the Seine to the closing ceremony with Tom Cruise and everything in between. I competed in the 2018 Olympics and was the subject of lots of controversy, jokes, and thousands of memes! So I feel qualified to judge the memes from this year's Olympics! If you're curious to go behind the scenes of the Olympic Village, check this out too.

10. Sharpshooters Yusuf Dikec and Sevval Ilayda Tarhan winning silver:

Man got the media. Almost totally ignored the woman in this mixed doubles. She too shoots kind of 'cavalier'. It's said that SHE was the 8th overall while he was the 13th in their combined effort at Silver.

12. Stephen Nedoroscik being Clark Kent/Superman:

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
