Jesus Christ, I swear this is the Olympics of misinformation. In more wonderful news, Mondo Duplantis won gold and broke his own world record in the pole vault.

You know, the coolest part of watching it was seeing the other competitors stick around and cheer him on. There’s been a lot of bullshit misinformation going on from the media and the public, but for the most part, the athletes have shown amazing camaraderie and sportsmanship.

There was an athlete named McTard,
from Olympic swimming was barred.
His backstroke’s the topic,
He swims periscopic!
And competes, say officials, too hard.
