Curtis' time in the Olympics

Arrowverse lover 100·9/9/2020 in Arrow

I was always very confused about this and maybe you guys can help me understand. He said a couple times between season 4 and 5 that he was in the Olympics. But when he first became part of the team, he was so uncordinated. I forget if they said what part of the Olympics he took part in. But it probably didn't take a lot of skill. Which the Olympics do. So, can someone clarify exactly what he did and did he win any metals and why did he leave?

Honestly seems like they just included that part cause it's in the comics.

Yeah, he isn't very coordinated at all. His superhero career (if you can even call it that) was really just disappointing. Seems he only ever lost.

There was even a GIF of one Arrow fight where he was literally just being kicked on the ground in the corner for several minutes by an all-female villain team.

Never seen that gif. Every time I think about how bad of a fighter he was I think about how he got beat so many times that Paul didn't want to be with him anymore. And also how he fell off the salmon latter.

Oh, that too.

Part of me honestly thinks he made it up

Yeah, to me he seemed way to inflexible and uncoordinated to be in the Olympics, much less be an Olympic bronze medalist. I honestly can't remember a single time he won a fight without having to resort to his T-Spheres; actually, even with the balls, I can't remember a time where he won.

I think I remember what he did in the Olympics. Wasn't he a skydiver? Although he did seem pretty scared when him and Felicity had to parachute into that building.

What do you think?
