There are literally thousands of athletes that attend each olympics. The fact that 20 of them have died in the last 2 years is statistically insignificant. Now if it was only gold medal winners dying or something that would be 2spooky

You just know when the logo was first presented by the marketing department, some guys in the boardroom really wanted to say that but didn't have the balls.

It's simple. They won the Olympics because they made all the gymnastic equipment.

Because they invest far more money than they normally would so they don't get embarrassed.
