If you would add a couple random additional fingers and scramble the text, the absurdity of the picture really looks like AI generated content
Two of my favorite things, but I wasn’t able to find more cheese pictures

Gojira and the beheaded Marie Antoinette needs to be included. The Korean sharpshooter too. Also, what is the Chinese athlete holding on the leftmost, second-to-the-last row?
A tiny badge with a spanish flag.
Her Spanish semi-final opponent in badminton injured herself during their match and had to withdraw. source e.g. here

What's happening in the first picture on the fourth row?
It's from the badminton. The Chinese player was in the semi-final against Carolina Marin of Spain. Marin had won the first game and was leading in the second before having to retire injured.
So He Bingjiao held up a pin with the Spanish flag on it as a mark of respect for Marin, who should really have been in her place on the podium.
Always warms my heart to see the amount of respect these athletes have for their competitors. Sometimes people are awesome!
Well, it's all part of the Olympic spirit and what it's all supposed to be about.
Competing at a high level but with graciousness and respect for each other.
I love that! I love the international sportsmanship and comraderie that can pop up here. It just goes to show we're all just people.
Missing the dudes dick hitting the bar, Raygun and Gojira.
They left out the cuban wrestler Mijan Lopez. After winning his fifth consecutive Olympic Gold Medal in his discipline, the Cuban giant retired from wrestling. His sneakers on the middle of the mat were certainly an Olympic image, considering the discipline and his achievements.

What's the story behind this one?
Not sure if actually dating or not, but at least joked about the being a couple - https://www.scmp.com/sport/paris-olympics-2024/china/article/3272185/chinese-olympic-gold-medal-winners-pose-sparks-social-media-jokes-about-relationship

They're a ~~lesbian couple~~ from China where LGBTQ people aren't exactly accepted or welcomed by society.
EDIT: Done some research and I couldn't find them confirming being romantically involved, however there's a different image where Chang (the one being carried) makes a heart shape with her arm, so who knows really ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Its interesting. After some looking around and linked posts, this is not entirely true or at least confirmed.
Chen picked up Chang in a bridal carry for a photo after they receiving their gold medals, which led many netizens to joke that Chang and Chen are in a romantic relationship
Is the 'bridal carry' what the american diver next to them is surprised at? Seems like an overreaction to me if its only that

wheres the cyberpunk asian shooter girl?
According to who? Because i don't recognize most of these, and i don't see some that are very shared like bad breakdancing woman
Yeah, my first thought was it was missing the dude whose dick cost him a medal.
Or the mooning surfer.
Wait.... What?
Apparently if you watch the replay it’s clear that he had already failed his attempt before his bulge hit.

According to who?
Other people? I know that's a foreign concept to people here. That other people exist, but it's true. There's over a million of us. Crazy right.

I don't know what is actually going on, but I'm interested in the Olympic level giant wedge of cheese hugging competition.
Technically not an Olympics photo. She’s an Italian gymnast who does promo for Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. That’s an ad she did.

Great collection. Though I feel like the picture of Remco Evenepoel (cyclist) should have been the one where he stands legs and arms wide open with the Eiffel tower in the background.
I have heard nothing about the Olympics this year aside from the shooting competition. It's very weird.
