Yea but their passports from like 2 years ago had them listed as like age 11 or something according to alot of the sports analyst. And china is claiming that it was all just an big misunderstanding hmmm either way they were good and deserve to win.
So do you really want to become a mermaid because clearly that guy isnt human and swimming like that ....

Holy butts, I type words on them there Tumblrs
Oh god look a Twitters too
You shouldn't be there to best yourself. You're there to represent your country and win. When you lose and just go "I beat my personal record and that's all that counts! ^_^" like some grade-schooler at the school track and field meet, you're essentially taking pride in the fact that you lost.
The Olympics isn't really the right place to be improving. There's no participation ribbon at the Olympics. We lose over and over, but the athletes don't care. So pardon me if I don't root for people who couldn't care less about how they're making my country look bad.
I'll cheer for Canada when Canada gives me a reason to.
EDIT: To iterate my point, Canada has a grand total of 0 medals. I'd go look up how many events we even could have medalled in, but my internet's borked right now.
EDIT 2: Thanks to David Calder and Scott Frandsen for earning Canada's first medal (Silver).

Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire.
Phelps should legally change his name to aquaman.
Incidentally, the 400 relay was tonight. Phelps won his eighth gold and set his seventh world record. That's history, that is.
I wonder if anyone finds that...suspicious?
