I wonder how many foreign tourists were robbed in London in 2012 during the Olympics, and the press didn't make a fuss about it, because it was their own fault for not taking any care?

Tell me, after all the bullsh*t talk about "zika", how many athletes, journalists and tourists in Rio so far go the so called zika? Do you heard about any case of anyone getting zika so far?

Time to end the PROPAGANDA and admit the Olympics in Brazil are already a total success with no major incidents.
lmao...L..M...A...O.


Taken a little personally, eh, Brazilian?


With all due respect you aren't exactly coming from an unbiased opinion, so...

I'm mainly looking to see if Bolt can do it again. And men's basketball is always entertaining.

US teenager bests two former Gold Medalists to nab first Rio gold in 10m air rifle.

It doesn't appear they are using a Daisy BB gun. Maybe if pops would have bought me one of these instead, Olympic Glory could have been mine

I've been watching today on the various venues..What I observed today is the "Tat"s" on so many athletes That includes young women too..Yikes..Never was or never will be a fan of "Tat's"..But apparently is super popular nowadays

If these young folks only realize those permanent marking last your whole life..and whatever it symbolizes may become something negative half century later... But it isn't just A Tattoo ..But tats that cover whole arms..backs and even legs WHY do people feel the need to mare their bodies ..especially at such a young age?

it's amazing this doesn't happen more often...

Scary injury: French gymnast Samir Ait Said snaps his leg on vault

Ait Said’s left leg snapped on his vault landing, the sharp crack heard throughout the arena. As he rolled over, clutching his leg just below the knee, his foot and the lower half of his shin dangled in the opposite direction of the rest of his leg.
