The Olympics are considered to contain only the top athletes in the world. For most athletes, it’s the biggest stage they will ever compete at, making it crucial to make no mistakes.

Mistakes aren’t only made regarding target shooting, archery, or even a wrong step in a gymnastics routine. Sometimes, mistakes can be made concerning wardrobe malfunctions, and one question, in particular, intrigued fans.

One of the more common questions answered on NBC TODAY regarding the Summer Olympics was about the Olympic gymnasts and how they avoid getting wedgies in those seemingly skin-tight leotards they sport when competing.

Nastia Liukin, a former US Olympic Gymnast, answered the question. Her answer to NBC TODAY was actually quite interesting and unexpected, as she revealed that they use some sort of spray for that purpose.

Olympic Gymnasts Use A Spray To Avoid Wedgies

Liukin, who last competed in the 2008 Olympics, where she won the Gold medal in gymnastics for team US, said, “Believe it or not, there’s a spray for that.” To the surprise of many, there is a spray called Tuf-Skin.

The spray is supposed to hold the uniforms in place, preventing all things wedgie-related. One has to wonder how comfortable it is to spray on before competing, but either way, it doesn’t seem to be performance-hindering. Or at least it wasn’t for Liukin!

Team USA is crushing it as the Olympics approach the final week of competitions in Paris. They sit second behind China with 37 medals, nine gold, fifteen silver, and thirteen bronze. They only hope to add to their Olympic medal total before the games end on August 11th.

Embarrassing Fact Surfaces About Attractive Norwegian Pole Vaulter Who’s Been Blowing Up During The Olympics

Norwegian pole vaulter Embla Matilde Njerve has been trending online during the current Olympic Games, but fans will likely be embarrassed after finding something out.

Pole vaulters have been a popular show at these games, and not just for their pole vaulting prowess. One athlete went viral after his shaft prevented him from qualifying by latching onto the bar, while another did the rounds because she celebrated by twerking.

Pole vaulting is done at the Olympics, with Mondo Duplantis of Sweden winning the men’s competition and Australian Nina Kennedy winning the women’s. Still, Njerve is the one who’s been attracting most of the attention on social media.

There’s one problem, however. The Norway international was never at the Olympics.
