* Doubling as Heartwarming: Liu Xinyu (Chinese ice dancer) continues his trend of [[BridalCarry princess carrying and lifting]] Yuzuru Hanyu (Japanese men's singles skater) - [[https://life-is-like-soup.tumblr.com/post/676772576990773248/glad-they-were-having-the-time-of-their-lives not once, not twice, but four times.]] During the gala practice, as well as the gala, at the urging of Wang Shiyue (Liu's partner), Liu also spun with a delighted, laughing Hanyu in his arms. After he's put down, Hanyu does the proper flourishes and curtsies just like Wang would have. Post-event, Liu Xinyu posted Hanyu's selfie with Bing Dwen Dwen (the mascot) on Weibo, because Yuzuru (who has no social media) knew many people wanted to see the selfie, and so forwarded it to Xinyu, as well as a video of Xinyu lifting Yuzuru in a stationary lift backstage. D'awww.

* Nobunari Oda (former figure skater who came to the Olympics as a journalist) queued for four and a half hours, advancing ten meters per hour, to buy a plushie of Bing Dwen Dwen. "I plan to wait 4 to 5 hours. I'll do my best, and if I don't, I'll cry at the media center." His triumphant reaction when he finally acquired one - a special edition, no less, and by complete coincidence - [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/33776fc3_038f_4cc5_8d01_2ac156fa79fa.jpeg is something to behold.]]

* In the spring before the games began, McDonald’s ran a promotion called “When the US Wins, You Win.” In it, you would be given a scratchable ticket with the name of an Olympic event on it. If the US won a gold medal in that event, you would get a free Big Mac. If they won silver, you would get a free order of French fries. If bronze, a free Coca-Cola. Thanks to the Soviet boycott, the US ended up winning far more Olympic medals than expected. For the duration of the games, it was not unusual to see whole families coming out of McDonald’s restaurants with entire free meals!

* A [[{{Squick}} Squicky one]], but nonetheless hilarious at the same time. Thousands of pigeons released during the opening ceremony of the 1936 Olympic Games pooped on much of the audience after being frightened by ceremonial cannon fire.

* When the Italian team entered the stadium at the opening ceremony, the band couldn't locate the sheet music for the "Marcia Reale" (then the Italian national anthem) because it had not been delivered on time. So, the band played "'O sole mio" instead.
