I'm really sorry, I had no intention to taunt Reed Zeeland or the whole Electrum team, I was just happy to make the final and I didn't think and I did what I did, I'm really sorry. I know the Electrumites are facing taunting such as condom throwing and boob flashing and other stupid stuff from stupid athletes but I swear my intention wasn't to taunt. I had no intention at all, I was just happy and I wanted to share my happiness but I think it was the wrong way. Lol, I'm sorry again.

Memorandum
From: The Monastic Olympic Committee
To: Sarah Lynch, Chairwoman, Aeropag Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games
RE: Medal Presentation for the Men's Marathon
Dear Miss Lynch
Thank you for your congratulations over Fr. Nicholas' unexpected gold medal in the Men's Marathon. Rest assured that we are as surprised as you are. 'God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform', as a heretic schismatic once wrote.
You note in your congratulations that the national anthem of the Holy Monastic Republic of the Archregimancy, The Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom, is - 'notoriously', as you rather unkindly put it in your letter - 'between an hour and a half to two hours long'. You have also asked whether we might consider 'abbreviating' our national anthem given the particular circumstances under which Fr. Nicholas is to be awarded his medal during the closing ceremony.
While we commend you for having the courtesy to ask, we regret that we cannot agree to this request. Any other nation would, quite rightly, object if their anthem were to be somehow mutilated while one of its athletes was receiving said nation's only gold medal of the Olympics. It is a matter of Olympic etiquette that our anthem should therefore be played in full on this occasion. Anything else would be considered a gross slur upon the honour of both our nation and our religion.
That this particular gold medal is to be handed out during the closing ceremony is neither here nor there. You will simply have to extend the closing ceremony accordingly. We are sure that the other nations and the athletes participating in the ceremony shall be understanding given the circumstances.
Yours in Christ,
The Monastic Olympic Committee +
