I mean, if the sticker on your water bottle isn't facing the exactly correct angle and you didn't pull your underpants out of your ass crack you're obviously not gonna win.

EselTheDonkey 698 Posted July 14, 2019 #50 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Men's qualification in gymnastics is the day after the Opening Ceremony. So that makes Zonderland pretty unlikely as a flag bearer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
