Though modern Olympians shoot at clay pigeons, contestants in the 1900 Games took aim at real birds. More than 300 were killed, 21 of them by winner Leon de Lunden of Belgium.
早期現(xiàn)代奧運(yùn)射擊比賽的靶子是泥鴿，不過(guò)，在1900年奧運(yùn)會(huì)上參賽者瞄準(zhǔn)射擊的是真鴿子。當(dāng)年奧運(yùn)期間有300多只鴿子被射殺，其中被冠軍比利時(shí)選手列昂?蘭登射殺的有21只。

小編說(shuō)：罪過(guò)啊，罪過(guò)！鴿子可是和平的象征！

Russian Martin Klein was too exhausted to compete in the 1912 Greco-Roman wrestling final after his semi-final with Finland's Alfred Asikainen took 11 hours.
1912年奧運(yùn)會(huì)上，在半決賽中與芬蘭選手艾爾弗雷德?阿西凱寧進(jìn)行了11個(gè)小時(shí)的古典式摔跤后，俄羅斯選手馬丁?克萊恩因太過(guò)筋疲力盡而無(wú)法參加該項(xiàng)目的決賽。

小編說(shuō)：所以，對(duì)手不用比賽就直接得金牌了？

Olympic organizers have provided free condoms to athletes in the Olympic Village ever since the 1992 Games in Barcelona. Randy athletes used all 70,000 at the 2000 Games, leading to organizers supplying nearly twice that amount four years later. After a drop-off to just 100,000 free condoms at Beijing 2008, 150,000 were handed out at London 2012 and 450,000 will be handed out in Rio this year.
自1992年巴塞羅那奧運(yùn)會(huì)開始，奧運(yùn)會(huì)組織者會(huì)為奧運(yùn)村的運(yùn)動(dòng)員提供免費(fèi)避孕套。性欲旺盛的運(yùn)動(dòng)員在2000場(chǎng)比賽中用掉全部7萬(wàn)個(gè)避孕套，導(dǎo)致組織者在四年后的奧運(yùn)會(huì)上提供近兩倍的避孕套（14萬(wàn)個(gè)）。2008年北京奧運(yùn)會(huì)提供的免費(fèi)避孕套數(shù)量下降到10萬(wàn)個(gè)之后，2012年倫敦奧運(yùn)會(huì)上發(fā)放了15萬(wàn)個(gè)。今年里約奧運(yùn)期間，組織方將發(fā)放45萬(wàn)個(gè)免費(fèi)避孕套。

小編說(shuō)：運(yùn)動(dòng)員們不是都應(yīng)該忙著訓(xùn)練和比賽嗎？
