Once again, we’ve seen the end of an international sports event and, once again, the internet is flooding with memes to make sure nobody forgets about all the memorable things that happened. From the very lengthy and somewhat over-the-top opening ceremony in Paris, we knew the 2024 Olympics were going to be something special and boy, they didn’t disappoint.
Let’s take a look at some of the moments the internet has decided to safeguard for posterity and elevate to the lonely heights of memedom.
Simone Biles Comeback
No one really had any doubts, but after suffering from twisties at the 2020 Olympics, a lot of media outlets were voicing concerns about the level at which Simone Biles could perform. In between winning medals, she never let a moment go by to let the critics know they were wrong. She even got in a small moment where she posted about her “black job,” a reference to Trump’s disastrous interview at the NABJ.
Perfect 10 in Diving For Quan Hongchan
While diving is always impressive to watch, this Olympics we actually got a dive that rated a 10 from all the judges. Why? Because the dive was so perfectly executed, it didn’t even cause a splash. Diver Quan Hongchan already won her first gold medal in 2020 when she was only 14 years old, and it looks like nobody will be beating this diving talent anytime soon.
