Olympic translations

Just gathering some translations of stock phrases at the Olympics:

"Gallant effort" = "Came last"

"Judged the moment perfectly" = "Did it by the skin of the teeth!"

"This is incredible!" = "Which drug are you on?"

"Narrowly missed the bronze" = "Loser"

"Might have been the possibility of a fault" = "Miles out."

More to come ....
