Strange Olympic rituals, from butt-slapping to medal-biting

Always wanted to be a staff member on the women's gymnasts' coaching staff.
Gotta say, those ladies have world class fannies!
I would've been a world class butt slapper (the medalists would've rated a slap and a nice cheek squeeze).
Ah.., to dream...

What I heard about the medal biting thingy is that whenever those athletes got their medal, and they are biting it just to confirm whether the medal is pure or not, especially the gold medal. But the officials has made a statement that those medals are not pure, most probably 98% of silver and 2% of gold. If you are wishing for pure gold in that gold medal, then you should probably get yourself a Kechara wish fulfilling Chakras lol.

This is what I call over digging for Olympic stories. To say "butt slapping" is an Olympic ritual is stretching the truth beyond the gold medal for tall tales. Butt slapping far out dated the Olympics and I'm talking the Greek mythology events.

... and even older mythology,... I bet old Adam slapped him a butt the first time he woke up with a rib missing.

Yet the news says winning athletes will be liable for taxes on $6k or $9k. There's something in those medals.

That's right. The actual "drill" is ordering condoms for the Olympic Village by the tonne.

Love it.
