15 #SelfieOlympics Shots Worthy of a Gold Medal
What's This?

We're not sure just which Internet wormhole it crawled out of or how its weird momentum got rolling, but there's a sport of sorts called the Selfie Olympics currently popping on Twitter.
Sorry—make that the #SelfieOlympics.
The premise is simple. Take the Oxford Dictionaries' official 2013 word of the year (that's "selfie") and combine it with one of the most anticipated sporting events of 2014 (that's the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia). Mash those two together and you get some of the most elaborate, extreme and downright random selfies to hit the web. (Fair warning: a search of the hashtag does turn up a couple NSFW photos.)
The results—well, we'll let the results speak for themselves. Here below are 15 of our favorite #SelfieOlympics shots from Friday. You're all gold medalists in our book.
