never forget that australias first ever winter olympics gold was won because the guy was coming dead last and everyone in front of him fell over

its happening

even better

the only reason he was in the final was bc the same thing happened in the semis

and the only reason he was in the semis was bc one of the guys that came ahead of him in the quarters was disqualified

i’m not sure if he’s the luckiest skater alive or a skater that has the power to curse other competitors.

i’ve been laughing non stop for the past like 10 minutes

Translation scramble: Norway gets 15K eggs

The chefs for Norway’s Olympic team ordered 1,500 eggs.

What they got was 15,000 eggs.

With Norway boasting a team of 109 competitors, the team’s chefs placed a bulk order for eggs from a local store. The order was apparently lost in translation, however, and they received a bumper batch – some 13,500 more than expected.

“There was literally no end to the delivery,” chef Stale Johansen said. “Absolutely unbelievable.”

The chefs have since been allowed to return their excess produce, with Aftenposten attributing the original mistake to a mix up with Google’s translation tool.

Although the excess eggs have been sent back, the Norway team can still expect plenty of egg-based dishes.

“There will be omelets, boiled and fried eggs and smoked salmon with scrambled eggs,” Johansen told Aftenposten. “And we hope there will be a lot of sugar bread made for medal winners. We have made our provisions for that.”
