Much like Bradie Tennell is here, the US is in turmoil.  I know, I know, this comes as a surprise. But let\’s focus on the Olympic-specific turmoil.  6 medals out of I don\’t know, probably 50, so far.  I haven\’t had my hopes this dashed since… well, I guess earlier this college basketball season.  The only sports we are excelling in are the ones we invented.  Which actually should just be our plan going forward.  If we get enough random US sports in the Olympics, then eventually we win the most medals.  If we can\’t be strong enough or fast enough, then at least we can be the most creative.  Flonkerton 2022!

Some fantasy countries competing in this league are going through a similarly tumultuous time.  It appears the poor souls of Groganzola have endured another coup since the 2016 Rio Olympics.  The Mounted Sovereigns of Groganzola-on-the-Caucausus have sent their fearless- and I\’m told much feared- leader Skullgrinder Ross to try to best their 11th place finish. So far?  Not so good.

I would be remiss were I not to mention the feel-good story of these Fantasy Olympics.  Despite going through what must be a chaotic time, Covfefe and The People\’s Republic of Covfefe are able to compete side by side.  Though there is no word yet whether Queen Charlotte of Covfefe and Her Serene Highness Jen of PRC foresee a united future, they\’ve at least stopped tweeting at each other, which is all anyone can ask for really.
