28 funny comments with a sporting chance of making you laugh at the Olympics

With a week to go of the Paris Olympics, the medal table is packed. China, the US and France have staked their claims at the top, but first-time Olympic medal-winning countries Dominica and Saint Lucia have entered the chat.

We’ve seen a pole vaulter nearly give himself a vasectomy, Andy Murray leave the professional circuit for good, and an Italian gymnast’s cheese sponsorship create the greatest publicity photos of all time.

Ireland’s Rhys McClenaghan took the Gold with an incredible pommel horse routine, and this post is everything.

The BMX is the best event yet

I'd happily watch 2 weeks of this

The commentators are just saying mad shit like:

"Here's the Superman into the Can-Can with an added Tailwhip"

I was very sad to see Andy Murray retire. I said to him, ‘You can look back proudly on a fine career. To win twice at Wimbledon is one hell of an achievement – I remember my Newcastle side scrapping to a hard-fought 3-3 draw there back in ‘95, so I know what a tough place it is.’
