As the 2016 Summer Games got underway in Rio de Janeiro this weekend, a lot of people took to social media to share their thoughts about the Olympics so far.
Some talked about the games’ opening ceremonies, while others just wanted to express their support for their country or share interesting stories about certain athletes.
But the gold medal (get it?) for funniest Twitter account this weekend goes to “Saturday Night Live” and “Ghostbusters” star Leslie Jones.
Her hilarious — and sometimes profane — tweets of numerous events over the weekend had has cracking up more often than not.
She is obviously a big fan of the Olympics, as she was watching some of the more obscure sports out there, including kayaking.

Her Twitter account got so much attention over the weekend that she was even invited down to Rio to check out the action in person.
OK @Lesdoggg you're officially invited to Rio. Want to come?

But it looks like Jones has yet to decide if she’s jumping on a plane to watch Team USA in person.
So the question is….should I go? Hmmm
