Yahoo Lifestyle 17 Best Memes The Olympics Gave Us
These Olympics were way more fun and spectacular than many could have anticipated, from the opening ceremony on the Seine to the closing ceremony with Tom Cruise and everything in between. I competed in the 2018 Olympics and was the subject of lots of controversy, jokes, and thousands of memes! So I feel qualified to judge the memes from this year's Olympics! If you're curious to go behind the scenes of the Olympic Village, check this out too.
