Rio Olympics 2016: Twitter Imagines Worldwide Event In Post-Apocalypse 'Walking Dead' Universe [PHOTO]

By Lauren DuBois

The Olympics are a worldwide event which trigger everyone to join together and celebrate the best athletes each country has to offer in a wide variety of sports, but the biannual event would look very different in a world where The Walking Dead was a reality.

The hit show about a post-apocalyptic world where everyone has to fight for survival from both the living and the dead has inspired a new trend on Twitter, where people imagine what kinds of events the Olympics would include if the world was a very different place, like it would be if such an apocalypse were to happen.

And Twitter has delivered on a number of possible Olympic events should we ever succumb to such a world:
