Olympic chat thread 2016

[webby]

Anyone planning to watch the Olympics, or anyone looking forward to any event in particular this year?

Seems like things are kind of a mess. I've seen quite a few stories about bad living conditions for athletes, water quality issues, raw sewage, protests etc especially in the last few weeks.

I usually watch it if I don't have anything going on.

More Than 1,000 U.S. Spies Protecting Rio Olympics
http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/20...-spies-brazil-protecting-rio-olympics-n623186

"U.S. intelligence has assigned more than 1,000 spies to Olympic security as part of a highly classified effort to protect the Rio 2016 Summer Games and American athletes and staff, NBC News has learned."

maybe they shouldn't be writing a news article about this if it's so highly classified? uh

I feel bad for the swimmers dealing with this crap

Looks like a good decision to have the games there. I can say that I've watched a grand total of zero minutes of the Olympics this time around.
