I didn’t watch the Olympics this year so strangely knew only of the progress through memes.

Kind of a weird experience

Yes. Just as genres like novels get deprecated in the new online media stew, the linear arc of Olympic sports--this athlete competing in that event against an antagonist in an epic struggle--just isn't watchable anymore. 

Instead it's random memes about this Algerian boxer or that Turkish shooter. 

It's like watching the destruction of collective mind in real-time, one hopes replaced by something comparable (though I'm dubious).

Yeah I found myself agreeing with this even though I enjoyed them. I feel like if you’re younger & online it kind of just makes sense because that’s how you experience most big global events now

From the pole vaulter to the shooters to Noah Lyles, the basketball team…
It goes on and on and I didn’t tune in to a single minute of my own accord.
The internet is wonderful!

Hi Nicholas. Hope there wasn’t undue weighting given to the Olympic breakdancing meme.  There were many awesome performances and feats of amazing-ness. 🙌🏽😎🎩

Me too. I wouldnt even know where it was being helded

I checked the medal counts now and then, but I didn't really watch any of it (except once when it was on TV in a restaurant)

The memes really are the main things I know happened

Hahahaha same! I only get updates on basketball but for other sports, i was updated through memes 😅

Yeah me too, I think I only got updates from the Olympics through memes

same !!
a lot of memes were made this year

i think it started with the turkish guy, the one in the gun shooting

The olympics this year wasn’t as interesting as previous Olympics in my opinion

But the memes 
The deserve their own gold medal

I watched a few, it felt so short felt like it lasted a week at most
