Irish light flyweight boxer Paddy Barnes goes face-to-face with British heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
Seems like a fair fight.

GJ, Sochi utilities committee, GJ...
Russia's unpreparedness for the Sochi Olympics has been widely publicized, but now it seems like their shoddy construction runs right down the bathroom doors in the Olympic village.
American bobsledder Johnny Quinn got trapped in one of the bathrooms because the door jammed. Thankfully, Quinn's bobsled training involved a lot of... ahem... forceful thrusting. Rather than face a slow, agonizing death in a Sochi dook hut, Quinn used himself as a battering ram to break through the door to freedom.
After all, he's an American! He knows all about freedom!

Nobody is more proud of British gold medal swimmer Adam Peaty than his grandmother Mavis.
Adam Peaty won gold in the 100 meter breaststroke and set a new world record of 57.13 seconds this weekend. And while most grandmas were at home struggling with the remote, Grandma Mavis was gaining thousands of Followers on Twitter.

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.
That would seem to be the case for poor Johnny Quinn, who had to ram his way out of a bathroom that had a jammed door just a few days ago. Earlier this morning, Quinn found himself trapped again, this time in an elevator in his hotel.
Johnny Quinn: breaking barriers all over the place! Now if only the Russian government would follow his example...
Saturday Night star Leslie Jones has resurfaced on Twitter just in time to live-tweet all the action of the 2016 Olympics.
Leslie Jones is taking on every Olympic sport and rooting on team USA with a terrifying passion. Her love of the Olympics has gained the attention of the Internet and has earned her a personal invite from NBC Rio Olympics producer Jim Bell.
We really hope this is not a joke. The Rio Olympics NEED a little Leslie Jones commentary

When watching the Olympics, it's best not to think about your athleticism, your body, or really the fact that you exist as a person at all.
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.
