Gojira and the beheaded Marie Antoinette needs to be included. The Korean sharpshooter too. Also, what is the Chinese athlete holding on the leftmost, second-to-the-last row?

The mystified Chinese girl is one of the cutest pics ever. When in Rome...

What's the story behind this one?

They're a ~~lesbian couple~~ from China where LGBTQ people aren't exactly accepted or welcomed by society.

EDIT: Done some research and I couldn't find them confirming being romantically involved, however there's a different image where Chang (the one being carried) makes a heart shape with her arm, so who knows really ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

What's happening in the first picture on the fourth row?

[–] Jackthelad@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's from the badminton. The Chinese player was in the semi-final against Carolina Marin of Spain. Marin had won the first game and was leading in the second before having to retire injured.

So He Bingjiao held up a pin with the Spanish flag on it as a mark of respect for Marin, who should really have been in her place on the podium.

Always warms my heart to see the amount of respect these athletes have for their competitors. Sometimes people are awesome!

Is that a cheese wheel?

Yup, that Italian athlete is sponsored by Parmesan
