Olympians enjoy April Fools’ Day on social media

Congrats to U.S. 1500m runner Matthew Centrowitz for the most planned-out April Fools’ Day joke of any Olympian on Wednesday.

Centrowitz, a two-time World Championships medalist, announced he was moving up to the marathon in a “press conference” put on by USA Track and Field.

Check out Centrowitz and other Olympians’ jokes from social media:

Guess it's time to contact @USASwimming and @usantidoping to let them know I'm officially coming out of retirement!! #ageisjustanumber

I have some exciting news! After many of you guys pointed out that I would look much better with bigger boobs, I decided to go under the knife. Dr Sean Simon, an amazing plastic surgeon, agreed to help me right away in his Florida office. Of course, this time period is not the best, because I have to stay out of the pool for couple of weeks, but I really couldn't wait anymore. If you are still reading my post and you are very confused, then all I get to say is, that 'I got you! April fools'! 🙂
