Yesterday, the closing ceremony of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics happened. This marked the end of one of the strangest Olympics ever but also gave us glimpse into the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. This edition of the Olympic games brought with it iconic moments, peculiar occurrences and a number of unforgettable records.
The Maltese contingent in Tokyo gave a strong effort, but the highlight for Malta was surely the women’s 100m event where young athlete Carla Scicluna qualified to the semi-finals. Italy again impressed and shocked everyone, just like they did at the Eurovision and Euro’s. The Italians won the 4x100m relay, won gold in 100m and broke a record, when Gianmarco Tamberi became the first ever athlete to share a gold medal in athletics.
Huge steps for the LGBTQ community were also made in this Olympics.. Laurel Hubbard became the first transgender person to compete and Canadian footballer Quinn became the first non-binary and transgender person to win gold. American gymnast Simone Biles shed light on mental health when she decided not to compete in numerous of her events to protect and maintain her mental health.

According to Donald himself, he simply cannot get enough of the Big Macs. He stated that he loves hamburgers like no other food and is closing in on 50 years of eating them next year. With two Big Macs a day, that totals around 14 of the iconic sandwich a week. He began his fast food journey on May 17th, 1972 after having just gotten his first car. Back then, he states, he would eat up to 9 Big Macs a day!
Gorske keeps track of his destiny to devour as many of the burgers as possible by keeping every container he ever bought. Marking when he gets them on a daily calendar, he has every container and receipt organised in boxes and pouches by year. To keep his health, Donald states he skips eating the fries and walks six miles per day. Fans from across the world have even decided to send him McDonald’s collectible items knowing the burger fanatic will appreciate them on his very hungry journey!
