Funniest Moments from 2024 Paris Olympics

Bob the Cap Catcher

Bob the Cap Catcher

The heroes of the Olympics are not always the athletes who leave decorated with multiple medals. But we shouldn't forget about the people behind the scenes, making sure that everything goes smoothly here in Paris.

Speedo Sensation

As soon as he appeared with his scintillating swimwear, the audience both at the event and at home, were enamored. We don't know if his name is actually Bob, but we do know that he and his Speedo have brought us utter joy.

Anthony Amerati's Bad Timing Bulge

Pole Vaulter's Olympic Dreams Dashed

We hesitate to find amusement in an athlete's dreams of Olympic glory being dashed, But we cite this incident out of love, not mockery. Pole vaulter Anthony Amarati's Olympic dreams hit an unexpected NSFW hurdle. While competing in a qualifying event, French pole vaulter Anthony Amerazzi's nether regions hit the bar he was going over, knocking it down and him out of the competition.

Support for Amerati

While being well endowed is often considered a blessing, in Amigazi's case, it was something of a curse. He was understandably crushed by the outcome. Later reacting to his elimination in a statement posted by the French Athletics Federation saying, it's a big disappointment. I'm a bit gutted. It's the first time I've started a competition without any stress. However, many have expressed their support and admiration for Amirati.

Marie Antoinette Goes Medal

French Revolution Inspired

Even if you have no interest in sports, the Olympics opening ceremony is always a must see spectacle. This year was no exception, taking us down the Seine and showcasing numerous wondrous French landmarks from Notre Dame to the Eiffel Tower, as well as the country's long standing reputation for spectacular pageantry.

Soprano and Metal Band

But the most memorable moment occurred during the French Revolution inspired third sequence. Entitled Liberte, it featured the beheaded queen Marie Antoinette, played by soprano Marina Viotti, singing the opening lines of a sa I rah, before being joined by French metal band Gojira.

Kayak Cross Calamity

New Exciting Events

The Olympics have been around a very long time, but that doesn't mean they're afraid of trying new exciting events. For example, the introduction of kayak cross, a sport that has to be seen to be believed.

Imagine Being Dropped

Imagine being dropped off a 20 foot ramp while you're sitting in a kayak, then racing through raging rapids with 3 competitors all allowed to push and shove you with their paddles.

Mario Kart with Boats

It starts with competitors being dropped in the rapid waters from 15 feet high and only gets more exciting from there. Everyone drops off at the same time and then battles each other down the course to get to the bottom first. With all sorts of obstacles in the water, it's the kind of event that can trip up even the most coordinated.
