Is that a cheese wheel?
Yup, that Italian athlete is sponsored by Parmesan
Two of my favorite things, but I wasn’t able to find more cheese pictures
What’s happening in the first picture on the fourth row?
It’s from the badminton. The Chinese player was in the semi-final against Carolina Marin of Spain. Marin had won the first game and was leading in the second before having to retire injured.
So He Bingjiao held up a pin with the Spanish flag on it as a mark of respect for Marin, who should really have been in her place on the podium.
Always warms my heart to see the amount of respect these athletes have for their competitors. Sometimes people are awesome!
Gojira and the beheaded Marie Antoinette needs to be included. The Korean sharpshooter too. Also, what is the Chinese athlete holding on the leftmost, second-to-the-last row?
A tiny badge with a spanish flag.
Her Spanish semi-final opponent in badminton injured herself during their match and had to withdraw. source e.g. here
Missing the dudes dick hitting the bar, Raygun and Gojira.
They left out the cuban wrestler Mijan Lopez. After winning his fifth consecutive Olympic Gold Medal in his discipline, the Cuban giant retired from wrestling. His sneakers on the middle of the mat were certainly an Olympic image, considering the discipline and his achievements.
