“The snow or something grabbed his skis”

I hate it when that happens. Nothing worse than grabby snow.

Sorta like "ditch suction" when you're driving and end up in the ditch.

The Track and Field officials seemed overeager to DQ athletes/teams throughout these Olympics. I’m glad that the American who won the Silver in the 5000 got his DQ overturned. If you are going to DQ an athlete during the Olympics it better be clear and unambiguous since they train their whole lives for this opportunity.

The PM of Japan just turned into Super Mario and used a subterranean tunnel to travel from Tokyo to Rio.

The producer of these closing ceremonies must have eaten some mushrooms.
