After the first day of competition, Finland is position to equal its medal haul from the previous 3 summer olympics combined, mostly gold, with the only exception being the 100M, which their olympic team was too busy lengthening by 10M to post the top score. Pan and Pac have made excellent runner-up showings in hurdles and jumping, but skipped all the sprints. We've seen 10 competitors and 7 medal contenders, with some noticeable absences. Will the Balkan team show up to challenge the Nordic team or are they busy practicing split squats? In the original 5 events, if Bulgaria shows up, the Americans may be bumped down the medal stand, Jeff from his ~2nd place average, and Sid from his ~3rd place average.
We'll give it another day before we host a medal ceremony, complete with Maamme, Siniristilippu, and sauna. (at least that is what wiki tells me about the future host of the GM Winter Olympics)
Due to a poor showing by Jeff in the jumping events, Sid has crept up into a virtual tie for second place overall for competitors who have completed more than 3 events. Can Jeff make the jump?
aaaaaannnnnnnd.....we can now safely assume that Jeff has paid off the jumping judges. but either he could only scrounge up enough cash for third place because he spends all his money playing GM premium levels, or he didn't want to make his bribing overt.
Well, here's what happened: I made my way to each of the judges' quarters in the Olympic Village with cash in hand. Up until I got to the final judge—the Finnish judge—ALL of them happily accepted the envelope full of cash I had for them. But to my horror, the Finnish judge required, ehh, not just money, but that I DO certain things. This was especially horrifying to me given the fact that she had the face of a hobgoblin, and she had the body of, umm, well, a hobgoblin. Okay, now that I think of it, I'm pretty sure she was a hobgoblin. At any rate, several hours later, after I finished doing her shameful bidding, she pointed to the door and told me I could go. As I was walking out the door, though, she flashed a devilish smile at me and said, "Ya know, all of these events are either timed or measured. NONE of them are judged. Bwahahahaaa". With that, I burst into tears and ran away crying like a little girl. To my surprise, though, I later found that the score RECORDS had been hacked, and that somebody had given me enough points to possibly get a bronze. I want to believe it was my little hobgoblin lover, but I don't know. Either way, although it won't get me on a box of Wheaties, it may be just enough for me to snag a spot on some off-brand box of crapola, which could help me to recoup some of what I lost on my fool's errand.
