I plan on watching a lot. Always been more interested in the summer games than the winter.
Hopefully something doesn't go terribly wrong considering how the funding appears to have been so poorly managed.

Yeah, Brazilians are not happy

Reminds me of the Olympics in 1968 after the massacre of Tlatelolco. I asked my mom when I was a kid why she didn't remember anything. I guess it's going to be the same for them.

So far the USA is leading the medal count with 1 gold in shooting.
Virgina Thrasher won the gold for 10m air rifle shooting.

French gymnast breaks leg.
French gymnast Samir Aït Saïd was coming in for a landing after flipping several times off of the vault, when his left leg buckled and snapped horrifically upon contact with the ground.
As a warning, the video below is graphic.

I was in an UrgentCare waiting room this morning waiting to be seen and came across that clip, played it and loudly exclaimed "Holy Fuck" getting the attention of everyone else in the office.

You guys win anything yet? Too bad Ice sweeping aint an event in the summer games.

Yeah, we'd have at least a couple of golds by now.
So far only 1 bronze in Women's swim relay.

i still haven't looked at the leg break. i just scroll by really fast. good try though.
that womens cycling finish was crazy. that brutal crash and then the american losing in the last few seconds. not only did she not win she had three women pass her so no medal for her.

I've never watched women's rugby before, but a player for Great Britain's team is gorgeous.
Too bad they just lost though.

Now you have three. They just won bronze in rugby.
