The Summer Olympics are when the United States flexes its superiority over every other country in the world, including our European friends. This year, the festivities are starting before the Games even begin.

The U.S. Olympic team will be bringing air conditioning units to the Olympic Village for the Games in Paris, which “undercuts organizers’ plans to cut carbon emissions,” according to the Associated Press. After all, you do not get to be the best Olympic country on the planet by letting your athletes stew in non-air-conditioned venues in the summer. Greatness doesn’t sleep at 79 degrees Fahrenheit.
