Olympian swimmer Ryan Lochte isn't known for being particularly articulate, or even for forming complete sentences, and his Twitter account doesn't do much to dispel that perception. But some of his finest tweets, when formatted in Impact Bold, made us seriously wonder whether Lochte doesn't put much effort into the English language, or if he's actually an undercover Zen Buddhist.
Journalists have arrived and are starting to cover the Sochi 2014 winter Olympics. After early reports doubting the city's preparedness for the big game(s) and human rights protests across Russia, press at Sochi are naturally a bit concerned. As these tweets gathered by the Washington Post show, they had every right.

The Olympics are hard enough.
You've got the best athletes in the entire world up against you, and you need to be at the absolute top of your game to succeed.
The last thing you need is the Olympic village itself trying to defeat you too.

The eye infection that has been plaguing Bob Costas has spread to his other eye, forcing the commentator to step down in favor of (hopefully infection-free) Matt Lauer. This is how the internet responded.
Usain Bolt's 30th birthday party in Rio was one for the ages. Yesterday, a story leaked of Usain Bolt cheating on his girlfriend after 20-year-old, Jady Duarte, shared pictures to social media. The girl openly described her one night stand with the Fastest Man Alive in an interview. Today, a picture from that same club where Bolt met Jady is making the rounds on social media. The pic shows Usain Bolt "making out" with a random girl, but the internet believes there's more to the story...
To be fair to the person who made the decision that there needed to be 75 lifeguards keeping an eye on the world's best swimmers, concussions and other accidents do happen. That hasn't stopped the internet jokesters from commenting on a picture of a bored looking lifeguard.
