The 2024 Olympic Games are coming up in Paris very soon, but, one Olympic Games have already been held in Switzerland. The Merlympics, featuring mermaids and mermen. What? Yep, a woman from Utah secured the title as the Fastest Mermaid in the World, winning the Gold Medal.
Athletes must compete in five categories, including ecology ,diving to the bottom and picking up trash; underwater posing for photographs; and rescue, where they swim to “save” a submerged dummy… all while wearing full mermaid or merman gear. It’s not as easy as you might expect. Team USA…yes, they have an actual team– Is looking for team members for next years games. So, what so good about it?
