Blog Guy, you’ve been filling us in on the Olympics sports that nobody else covers. Tell us more!

There’s hot competition today for the Freakishly Grotesque Face event, as you can see in these training camp photos.

Wow, they’re hideous! How do they practice for an event like that?

Various ways. Some eat Brussels sprouts, some listen to Barry Manilow music. I know one who drinks Diet Dr Pepper for a face straight out of hell.

Ah, that makes sense. Who judges the event?

A panel of small children is forced to watch. The face that makes them scream and cry the loudest…
