The women rugby players are phenomenal athletes, and they're not too shabby in other aspects as well.
you defile a cup of coffee with cinnamon, vanilla and chocolate powder and you have the balls to call us fancy?!

I really don't see why anyone would want to support these Olympics considering...
/quote]
Because it's not the athlete's fault that it's like this. They have been working and dreaming of the Olympics for years and, when they finally realize their dream, the athletes get... Rio. F'ing Rio. Not their fault. so support them more! My neighbour is a coach, down there now, and I wish him and his teams well. And everyone else. Go Athletes!
Great words TorontoGirl. All Im hearing about how awful it is, but f*ck that. Go athletes from Togo and Fiji.

Congrats to Canadian Genie Bouchard for winning her opening tennis match against American Sloane Stephens,winning 6-3 6-3. I honestly didn't think she was going to win this match but it just goes to show that if you don't make many unforced errors, anything is possible!

Sweden's first medal today. "Silver-Emma" did it again. Silver in women's road race (cycling) once again. As in Peking, 2008. Tenths of a second behind Anna van der Breggen, The Netherlands.
Congratulations dear Emma! Tonight I will watch Sarah Sjöström take gold in women's 100 meter butterfly (swimming). Go Sarah!

Love it, always have. In this facile and transitory Internet-driven world, the Olympics is one of the few big-scale international events that still feels like a collective experience to me. I'm a sucker for all those sappy stories: the orphaned Romanian gymnast who was shipped off to some austere gymnastics facility 50 miles from her home when she was 5, the swimmer who survived tragedy and carries the memory
of his dead mother with him to the medal podium, the bad boy skier who hates fame but loves the purity of the ride.... I could go on and on. I live the human drama of it all: the teen who sacrificed everything to train and then fell off the balance beam, or the runner who tripped during the relay...
And it doesn't matter where they're from, I root for the individual stories.
Go ahead, call me a sap!

I wonder if Mick might pop over and see some of the Games.
He likes South America, has a son over there of course.
Might even give him some inspiration, song wise.

This has rendered some criticism in Rio. It's called cupping and is used by Michael Phelps and a couple of other contestants. Personally, I don't like it. Silver medalist Julia Efimova is bullied by other athlethes in Rio.
Gold medalist Lilly King refuses to sit next to her. Efimova cried rivers when talking to Swedish journalists yesterday. In a way I feel sorry for her. In the end she's only a product of the Soviet system.

There are other russian athletes who refused to parttake in doping, Stoneage.
It's sad, but I don't feel sorry for her. She shouldn't be there in the first place – not the norwegian athlete who has served his time, either, for that matter.
The IOC caved in, and that the saddest of it all, imo.
