射击比赛瞄准的是活的鸽子

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.
早期现代奥运射击比赛的靶子是泥鸽，不过，在1900年奥运会上参赛者瞄准射击的是真鸽子。当年奥运期间有300多只鸽子被射杀，其中被冠军比利时选手列昂•兰登射杀的有21只。

小编说：罪过啊，罪过！鸽子可是和平的象征！

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年奥运会上，在半决赛中与芬兰选手艾尔弗雷德•阿西凯宁进行了11个小时的古典式摔跤后，俄罗斯选手马丁•克莱恩因太过筋疲力尽而无法参加该项目的决赛。

小编说：所以，对手不用比赛就直接得金牌了？

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年巴塞罗那奥运会开始，奥运会组织者会为奥运村的运动员提供免费避孕套。性欲旺盛的运动员在2000场比赛中用掉全部7万个避孕套，导致组织者在四年后的奥运会上提供近两倍的避孕套（14万个）。2008年北京奥运会提供的免费避孕套数量下降到10万个之后，2012年伦敦奥运会上发放了15万个。今年里约奥运期间，组织方将发放45万个免费避孕套。

小编说：运动员们不是都应该忙着训练和比赛吗？
