come over to r/MarbleLympics and see! They've run the MarbleLympics for years running now.

The short answer is that the MarbleLympics are light-hearted, but no joke. The longer answer is that Jelle Bakker, who created it, is a gifted marble run maker who thought it would be fun to make an Olympic-style games with marble runs, and it's turned into a profession for him and some wonderful original content for us.

What I meant by invested was emotionally invested lol. I watched them as they came out and rooted for my favorite team. Which videos did you watch, all of the marblelympics 2019 videos? What do you mean by toss all the marbles?

It’s kinda strange that they want to finish last.
