Djokovic is the undisputed GOAT of tennis after winning Olympic gold

Djokovic is the goat. One gold big deal. On Clay beating Nadal. Beat, beat the whole country of Spain.

Whether he is the GOAT is subjective, but his 24 Grand Slams and Olympic gold make this the consensus statistical view.

Shaunae Miller crossed the finish line faster because she dove

Like, why would you not dive? Right. It doesn't make any sense. Like, she crossed the finish line faster because she dove. David Eckstein... That guy used to dive into first base all the time. Nobody ever said he wasn't fast.

While controversial, diving is legal in track and field and can indeed get the torso across the line faster in specific photo-finish scenarios.

The 2016 Olympics Russians got away with systematic doping

The Russians got away scot-free. So the IOC said, OK, we know your whole country had systematic doping for the last 20 years, so we're just going to ban the track and field team... they banned the track and field team, but anybody else from Russia is allowed to compete. So there you go.

This accurately reflects the controversy at the time; the IOC did not issue a total ban, leaving it to individual sport federations.

The Zika virus is an official threat to the Rio Olympics because of sexual transmission

If you can't get your dick sucked or eat some vagina, there's no point in going to Rio. So Zika is now an official threat to the Olympics. If you're an Olympic athlete and you can't fucking suck your way through Rio, what's the point in going?

While many athletes were concerned, the Olympics proceeded as scheduled and Zika did not derail the event significantly.
