Create the Dominican Curling association. 3. Recruit a bunch of elite Canadian players and pay for their citizenship. 4. Nominate yourself as the alternate on the Dominican Olympic curling team. 5. Don’t play (you don’t need to play a single end to be eligible for a medal). 6. Keep at it until Dominica finally wins gold. 7. Congrats? Can also be done with the Rowing Eights, but only if you are small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what happened to Daniela Druncea from Romania. Mediocre gymnast, nothing special about her, then all of a sudden she became a medalist in rowing at the 2016 Olympics.

American1998 0 Posted August 12, 2020 Author #14 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Olympic gold medals and Nobel Prizes are awarded though on different bases. Plus, Nobel Prizes may be awarded, or not awarded, due to political bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
