Olympics stuff. In here.

The 400m races were amazing! Great stuff. Again, I love track. Also I did like the Dutch competitor on the balance beam. Very different looking in a stylish way. Kind of refreshing as compared to the Romanian influenced athletic looking routines with big arm flails that are supposed to look good. What all these women do up there, though, is amazing.

because it's always a great idea to locate the olympics in a crime ridden fourth world county.
IOC needs completely replaced. there are so many cities that HAVE the facilities already in place and have the security to have the olympics in without all of Rio's troubles.
Rio is an open sewer.

I don't think Americans should criticize security and safety at the Olympics. So he got robbed while away from the Olympics. We let someone put a bomb at the Olympic park.

Cycling - something US Olympics coverage doesn't recognize. They showed the road race at the beginning of the games, but I wanted to see Cancellara's gold medal time trial, and Bradley Wiggins gold on the track. I did see local Arcadia CA girl (I went to Arcadia High School) win badminton. What a silly game.

The women's keirin race was a display of skill and survival. Riding a track bike up a vertical wall without crashing isn't like dusting crops.

You need a French woman to help you, though.

we didn't 'let' somebody put a bomb at the atlanta olympics. it was a security officer who put it there, in a twisted effort to 'find it' and be the 'hero'.

Hold on a fucking minute....

Eric Rudolph placed that bomb, NOT Richard Jewel. 20 years and that poor guys name is still dragged through the mud.

I'm on board with 'we didn't "let" anyone place a bomb', but lets stick to facts.
 
Usain Bolt has time to smile at the camera in his 100M semi final run. Pretty awesome. Must be cool to hold the claim to 'fastest man alive'. He seems like a pretty funny guy in interviews.

That pisses me off. Richard Jewel should have a holiday named after him and most people still thinks he planted it.
