KevinG Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Anyone down for the Olympics coming up? Any favorite sports out there? Think with all of Rio's trouble the games will go off without a hitch? Or do you think the combination of Zika, toxic sludge, and steroids will bring about the zombie apocalypse? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brock Landers Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I love the Olympics. Looking forward to basketball, swimming and gymnastics the most. And I'll be rooting against the Russians this year even more than I usually do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 After watching Bryant Gumbel's expose on HBO, I'm really down on the whole facade of the Olympics, but I am sure I will watch much of the soccer (already watched the first USWNT game), and some other miscellaneous stuff.

Doctor B Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Usually get into it as it unravels. Personally like the timed sports- swimming, track. Less interested in the subjectively judged sports. I have been thinking of the Olympic venue. Seems cost issues are always present no matter who hosts the games. The leftover arenas are not always used. Should there be a single place for future Olympics? Perhaps Athens? Every country contributes to the costs, maintenance, security etc. Every country shares in the profits. Athens gets a boost to their local economy. Just a thought. Doubt this would ever come to pass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dagwave Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 love the opening ceremonies better every time- and they are celebrating the shit out of Brazilian music (12 year old rapper kills), but those hosty Brazilians might have their aviation history confused. Or not....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 The first gold medal won by the USA was for shooting. Yeah - my wife told me that yesterday or the day before and honestly all I could do was chuckle and shake my head... Nice swim relay last night - pretty exiting.
