And its a Wrap at Rio. After two weeks of exhilarating stuff from Rio, we can all now relax as the sporting extravaganza is over. Over two weeks, we experienced some amazing performances from the athletes, but there were equally good performances on social media which gave us some of the funniest tweets about olympics.
May it be a pose for the shutters from Bolt, or the wicked face of Phelps, twitteraties didn’t leave any chance to enjoy themselves on the social networking platform. Some of these tweets were hilarious.
We capture some of the best and the funniest tweets about the Olympics from Rio 2016.
