I think we can all sympathise with Sue Sweeney, mother of American luger Emily Sweeney, who watched on in horror as her daughter wiped out.
The Olympics tend to bring out the best and worst in people. In the case of yesterday’s women’s 500-metre short track speed skating final, it was the latter.
The Winter Olympics is in full swing, so let’s take a quick look at some facts and figures. We also have some screenshots from the athlete’s Tinder profiles.
Red Gerard is your average Snapchat-using, binge-watching teenager, except for the fact that he just won an Olympic gold. Oh, and he managed to drop an F-Bomb live on air.
You can’t go anywhere without seeing a drone whizz by overhead these days. Sometimes, though, they’re putting on one hell of a show.
The Winter Olympics is one of those occasions where you end up becoming an expert in sporting codes you know nothing about. Feast your eyes on a triple axel.
When you host the Olympics, the world’s eyes are trained on your city for a few weeks. It’s a very different story once the cameras leave.
Our swimming speedster is over in Europe competing in a number of events, but through no fault of his own, it’s been a less than stellar trip so far.
He might not be America’s sweetheart, but Ryan Lochte seems to have found someone who doesn’t think he’s an idiot. She’s rather easy on the eye, too.
It’s been a pleasant few months not having to write about Ryan Lochte, but now he’s once again making a splash. At least he’s making new friends.
If you haven’t yet heard the name Ntando Mahlangu now would the time, the young man storming to silver in Rio this past weekend.
Most athletes at this year’s Paralympic Games have a story to tell, and one moment from this year’s opening ceremony managed to capture that perfectly.
Today marks day one of the Paralympics over in Rio, and South Africa has sent a team with many medal hopefuls. Bring home the bling.
If you want instant fame it helps when your father is the most decorated Olympian ever, and it seems like someone is looking to cash in big time.
You could call it kicking a man while he’s down, but then again Ryan Lochte will find sympathy hard to come by. This time it’s Jimmy with the jokes.
You might be glad the Olympics are over and you can move on with your life, but for one last trip down memory lane you can’t do much better than this.
I don’t think you can put a price on the experience of winning an Olympic medal, but history has shown us you can put a price on the medal itself.
He’s pretty much a sitting duck at the moment, and everyone is having their turn at ridiculing Ryan Lochte. Enter the master, Stephen Colbert.
Whilst our officials are patting themselves on the back following a record-equalling medal haul, some athletes are spilling the beans and it’s messy.
Ryan Lochte’s sponsors have dropped him and now his own countrymen are doing so too, leaving a message for all of Rio to see.
The Rio Olympics have finally come to an end, and there was no shortage of drama to keep us enthralled. Not everything goes according to plan, though.
Almost all of the medals handed out at the Olympics celebrate athletic excellence, but there’s one that is what the Olympics should be all about.
Usain Bolt’s actions may be a surprise to many, but are they really? The Jamaican sprinter was snapped in bed with a Rio local, which won’t impress his bae.
Ryan Lochte lied to his mother, and then that lie quickly began to unravel. When it came to apologise, he didn’t really deliver the goods either.
If Chad le Clos’ three-way tie taught us anything it’s that split seconds matter, which is why this new info is making serious waves.
Things are going from bad to worse for Ryan Lochte and the other swimmers caught in a web of their own lies. Now the damning video evidence has surfaced.
Competing at the Olympics with your sibling must be a special feeling, which is why someone needs to have a word with the Germans.
When you’re writing your name into athletics history with every race you’d expect a smile, but few time them as well as Usain.
When you’ve smashed the world record and stolen some of Usain’s thunder you deserve only the best. That’s certainly what’s on Wayde’s wrist.
Today’s 800 metre prelims will attract a massive audience, and that’s mainly down to our Caster hitting the tracks. Give her your support and watch live.
