Uni...lympics.

Today in my French class, we talked about the guy who founded the Olympic Games, Pierre Coubertin. So . . . let's see. Did I learn anything interesting? Not really. The Olympics, blah, blah, started out basically as a Europe elitism thing,

the Tour de France is the most-watched sporting event in the world (who knew?),

the first (modern-day) Olympic games were in Athens in 1896,

"Faster, higher, stronger,"

athletes used to have to be considered amateurs (aka, rich enough to have that kind of spare time),

the Olympics were held in France in 1900, and the winners received cash prizes.

So yeah. Go Olympics. (By the way, the summer Olympics are in London this year. Maybe I'll hop over there and see some of it.)

So here's a picture of Pierre Coubertin:

Is it bad that this is literally the first thing that came to my mind?

Just sayin.
