Cyclist Dan Craven has been the most entertaining part of the Rio Olympics thus far. But why is the cyclist who didn’t finish one of his two events and finished dead last in the other so popular on Twitter?
The Namibian, who didn’t finish the cycling road race, was offered a last-minute spot in the Rio time trial event. Having just competed in the road race, the Namibian was torn on whether he should compete in yet another event.
So Craven did what any rational human being would when facing a decision of Olympic proportions: he took to Twitter seeking the sage advice of his followers.
