Would you prefer the Iron Throne or Olympic gold?
If you’re going to be an Olympic athlete then it’s essential to have dedication and balls, sadly the character of Grey Worm only has one of these things, but we’re going to cut him some slack.
Raleigh Richie is the very talented actor that plays the leader of the Unusllied in the world’s most popular show. He was recently asked by BBC Newsbeat about the likelihood of some Game of Thrones characters playing an Olympic sport in Rio and it’s hard to disagree with his selections.
To be fair, members of Daenerys‘ personal army need to be disciplined, tough and well trained – not unlike Michael Phelps or Usain Bolt then.
While we fully agree with his selections for the ideal sports for Arya and The Mountain, we reckon that Jon Snow would do far better in the Winter Olympics. All that training on The Wall surely must come in handy?
Take a look.
If there was a #GameofThrones #Olympics, this is what it might be like – according to Raleigh Ritchie https://t.co/ct2Pv8V1tW
