The 31st Olympiad is off and running in Rio and we’re without a Telly. The crack team at The Lucky Puppy soldiers on.

Can someone with a medical background help me understand why the second medic touches her butt?  Olympic officials inspecting the course prior to the race voiced concerns that this turn was dangerous and the edge she fell on particularly dangerous.

AND THERE IS THIS ONE

Children and those of you with weak, girly feeling may choose to avert your eyes.

Only making it worse, he was dropped by paramedics when he was on a stretcher. He vows to return in the 2020 Olympics. If the Mooslums don’t destroy France by then.
