Many of us have spent the past week gathered around the television with our friends and/or family watching many talented athletes strut their stuff and show off to the world why they deserve to be at the world's most well-known competition: the Olympic Games. This year the winter Olympics are being held in Pyeongchang, South Korea, and it is proving to be one of the most exciting Olympic Games yet, but not just for the sports!

Here are some funny moments, some that have already gone viral, from the games that I think deserve a gold medal.

1. When 17-year-old snowboarder Red Gerard said "holy f*ck" on live television

It was the sound heard around the world, and it made Red a teenage hero. Not only did he achieve his second Olympic gold medal in the men's snowboard slopestyle event, but he also managed to do it after losing his coat that day and oversleeping after falling asleep to Netflix the night before. I don't think I have ever related this much to an Olympian before.

2. Katie Couric inaccurately stating that skating is "an important mode of transportation" for the Dutch

"As you all know," she said, "it has lots of canals that can freeze in the winters. So, for as long as those canals have existed, the Dutch have skated on them to get from place to place, to race each other, and also to have fun"... Oh no, yeah for sure Katie. Especially in this modern day and age! They skate to school, to work, to the mall, to vacation destinations, and, ya know, just about everywhere else in the country! Just like how Texan's ride their horses everywhere, right?

3. The Finnish snowboarding coach that was casually knitting

While snowboarder Roope Tonteri was preparing to take on the slope in just a matter of seconds, his coach Antti Koskinen decided that best way to relieve tension from the situation was by knitting I guess? Why not I suppose.

4. When figure skating broadcasters were dressed like they were ready to shoot a scene from 'The Hunger Games'

5. The kid that tried to lick the NBC camera

He just really wanted to know what it tasted like.

6. The comparison of Tonga's flag bearer to a Philly street pole

It's safe to say people were a little thrown back during the opening ceremony when cameras zoomed in on Pita Taufatofua, Tonga's flag bearer, who was wearing nothing except a traditional skirt-like outfit from his nation and loads of body oil. Viewers took to Twitter to compare him to the greased poles in Philly due to Super Bowl-related riots.

Can't wait to see what other hilarious moments the Olympic games will bring us this year. And to all the athletes, as I'm sure figure skating commentators, Tara and Johnny, already said: "may the odds be ever in your favor."
