Kristen Faulkner (@FaulknerKristen) has one of the craziest stories at this year's Olympics:
• Grew up in Alaska
• Rowed at Harvard
• Moved to NYC after school
• Started working for a venture capital firm
• Took a beginner's cycling class in Central Park
• Started cycling at 5:00 am before work
• Started competing in local cycling tournaments
• Quit her job & moved to California to cycle full-time
• Added to the USA road cycling roster one month before the Olympic Games
And now, just seven years after taking a beginner's cycling class in New York City, Kristen Faulkner has won gold at the Olympics in Paris — the first American to win gold in the women's road race in 40 years.
INSANE.

In his second Olympic appearance, @Phresh_Fish improves from 5th to 3rd to land his first global medal!
It’s the 2nd-fastest time of Fisher’s career and the 2nd-fastest time in American history… IN A CHAMPIONSHIP RACE!!! Fisher was one of 13 men that went under the previous Olympic record.

Obsessed with this guy on the US men's gymnastics team who's only job is pommel horse, so he just sits there until he's activated like a sleeper agent, whips off his glasses like Clark Kent and does a pommel horse routine that helps deliver the team its first medal in 16 years.
A rock band is performing and the singer sees a kid with a banner asking to play guitar with them. The singer asks him:
- Do you really know how to play guitar?
