The standings are updated with the Medal Count now! Lots of you really entertained me with your choices, whether it was GREAT LEADER Chris of Chrislandia running out of creative ways to say the United States, or Your Hugeness Mark G of Trumptopia\’s choice of Smith and Wesson for the Shooting victors, this was some data entry I enjoyed.  President Colin of The Settler of Catan was the only competitor to call the Russian Fencing upset.  And while she did not win the most medals in Field Hockey, as King Steve of Denmark predicted, my mom, Queen Karen of Destinesia, was the only person to correctly predict that the Netherlands would win the most Marathon Swimming medals.

Shoutouts are also in order to President Ginny of Fantasy or RIOlity and Pope Jay of Is It Time for Keeneland Yet? for being possibly the only two real Americans in this League for believing that the United States could beat China in Table Tennis.

If you were wondering why Olympians are always posing while biting on their medals, you are not alone.  I was also wondering this, and so apparently was The Huffington Post, who did a whole clickbait slideshow about it this week. The answer appears to be because photographers want them to do it, which I\’ll admit was a disappointing reason.  And, if you were worried they were leaving teeth marks, apparently the gold medals are much too hard for that because they only have approximately 1% solid gold in them,  This was also pretty disappointing.  Sorry to tell you all this, really.  But you don\’t have to take my word for it, this is the article.
