A dream for any athlete is to make it to the Olympics and compete for a medal. However, only a rare few get to live this dream, while those who don’t make it do their best to cope with the disappointment. Some go back to train even harder, while others find a funny side to the whole situation.

Recently, TikTok has been taken over by a new viral trend that sees internet users sharing why they didn’t make the Olympics through a series of hilarious videos.

The clips usually feature users taking part in one of the sports featured at the Olympics and failing miserably at it. An accompanying message in which they “sadly” announce that they haven’t made the Olympics or the U.S. Olympic team is included.

One of the most popular videos among the bunch was the one from @www.ihaveacrushonyou. In the clip, which got 88 million views since being shared last week, the TikToker is seen attempting a dive that ends up in her falling flat on her back in the water.

“So unfortunately I was not chosen for the usa 24 Olympic diving team,” @www.ihaveacrushonyou wrote in the text across the video while adding “maybe next year” in the caption.

The trend was so popular that even actress and Alias star Jennifer Garner took part.

Every athlete has a dream of performing at the Olympic Games and winning a medal, which is considered as one of the greatest achievements in the sports world.

At the Olympics, the best athletes from all countries will face their opponents, each better than the other. The pressure to give an outstanding performance is huge, but thousands of fans are there to cheer them on. The mere idea of holding the flag of your country and listening to your national anthem in front of millions of people gives us chills. 

In anticipation of the 2020 Olympics that will be held in Tokyo, Japan, many artists come forward with their support and ideas. 

One group of Japanese artists made an amazing combination of the things that Japan is most famous for and shared it as an unofficial promotional campaign for the upcoming games.

Combining the look of the traditional Japanese samurai with the modern mega-popular anime style, this group brought the flags of the competing countries to life by presenting them as unique characters that are ready to fight. 

Even though every character is different, when put together, they make a compact whole. 

Check them out in the gallery below!
