Gold is valuable, so it's used for first place in competion. Silver is less valuable, and bronze is nearly worthless. Not getting a medal at all probably sucks, but coming in absolute last place...that is just plain painful.
So lets start awarding plutonium medals to the last place finishers. Not
only is it quite valuable, but the medal winners may get superpowers from being around radiation. Or they may die.
Note: athletes from dangerous coutries are not allowed keep radioactive medals they win.

This is a good idea. It brings back that whole "you're special" thing, though. |

Why does a medal have to be metallic? |
|

Shit medals would solve the problems you demonstrate re losing athletes from rogue (rouge?) states, while reinforcing the laudable and patriotically anti communistic "it's not the taking part, but the material reward that counts" sentiment behind the idea. |

In the original Olympics, winners just got a bunch of leaves for their trouble. |

// athletes from dangerous countries are not allowed keep radioactive medals they win.//
Whereas all other athletes are free to sell them to whomever they choose. |
|

and who gets to decide who goes on the "dangerous
countries (sp)" list ? |

This is a good idea as the loser will probably suffer burns and/or radiation sickness so it provides a disincentive for losing. The gold is the carrot, the plutonium is the stick. |

Can't we just hit them with a stick? |
|
| |
Yeah, and tie them upside down to a tree and tickle their feet. |

Man, the Olympics just gets better every year. |

Propose uranium medal instead--uranium is reasonably safe to be around, and (in medal-sized quantities) not possible to make a bomb out of. |
