2008: Ara Abrahamian, Sweden
Ara Abrahamian is an Armenian Swedish wrestler who competed in the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. After disputing the judge's ruling during a semi-final match, he won a bronze medal but took it off during the ceremony, placed it on the mat, and left. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) then stripped him of the medal and banned him for life.
no it doesn't, it leave huge infrastructures behind with not enough money for maintenance or events to make use of it.
Not really.
The 1984 Olympics was the last to turn a profit.
Mmm.. I can smell your privilege from here.
actually a small amount of alcohol will help in shooting sports by relaxing you and steadying your aim.
Ali: *does the same thing 22 years later but gives it kitschy name "rope-a-dope," becomes a legend
Not a xenophobe or anything like it. Frankly I find this ironic considering.....
Also,
Im sorry Japan.. these idiots and their stupid covid games have had a negative impact on you hosting the games... i am sure if everything was normal and these idiots wouldnt be such liars and bad influences - you would make every other country that hosted the olympics look like children playing in a sandbox in comparison. (Regarding ceremony and whatever) - you guys are awesome:)
Also- the guy who had thc in his system - lol - he should have gotten a head start
