Everyone gets excited for the Olympics, whether it's to watch your favorite athlete, cheer for Team USA, or to simply watch the best in the world. A lot of people are motivated by what they see, but sometimes it just makes you temporarily think about things you usually wouldn't. Here are eleven things regular people say during the Olympics:
11. Let’s warm up like an Olympian, it’s obviously working for them *gets way too hyped before going into the pool*
Nothing is more motivating than watching the Olympics.
10. Shoot, she’s my age, what am I doing. I’m going to pick up air rifling.
She learned in five years, I could learn in four. Then again, I have school so probably not, but it's a thought.
9. If I trained I could do that (not really).
Maybe I could, like, improve my cartwheel.
8. Michael Phelps is a god.
No question.
7. *sees a less popular sport* We should try that!
Proceeds to get tired after ten minutes or someone gets seriously injured and the attempt fades into a great memory.
6. Jumping around cheering in my living room has me as tired as the athletes.
I think it's time for a nap.
5. Why do they treat 4th place as a failure, they’re the fourth best in the entire world. That’s amazing.
They have a medal in our hearts.
4. How do these people not crack under this pressure?
Years of training, down to a single day, a single moment. That's terrifying.
3. That volunteer got to high-five an Olympian. I’m going to volunteer for the next Olympics.
Can it please be in an English speaking country?
2. Look at that medal count, now that's America being great!
How patriotic do you feel during the Olympics?
1. I’m need to go work out.
If they can do all of that, I can get up and work out.
