    So with the addition of some better equipment, like an eye shield, maybe he could have taken home the gold? Is there a GoFundMe?

        On the one hand, I was just making a joke. You’re probably right.

        On the other hand, there are Olympians working part time jobs to pay for their training and equipment. Not every country sponsors their athletes, and this shit ain’t cheap. Few things highlight global economic disparity like the Olympics.
