The 2016 Summer Olympics are underway in Rio and we are loving every minute of fun. Despite all of the social media-worthy moments that have happened the past few days, you might of noticed that there haven’t been any hilarious GIFs flooding your feed. That’s because of the International Olympic Committee creating strict restrictions on how the games are portrayed on social media. However, the Internet has found a way to have some fun without GIFs. Thanks to the popular weekly top trending hashtag game, @HashtagJones1, Twitter users created the trending #OlympicProblemsIn5Words. The perfect way to capture those hilarious moments without getting blacklisted by the committee.
