With the opening ceremonies only a few days away and I think some of the games beginning tomorrow (Some of the women's soccer matches?) I figured we needed a thread to discuss the Olympics. Or for me to discuss the Olympics because a lot of people probably don't care. But we have such a diverse group from across the globe we could hopefully share in all of our athlete's successes in the games!
Personally, I have a vested interest in the Women's Quadruple Sculls (that's rowing, in case you're wondering!) as my sister made the team for her third and final time. She's a bit vocal, which is good, and has surprisingly been in the news! Here is some light reading for you all if you're interested:

Are you also tired of hearing about all of the horrible things in Rio? Do you have a cat? Discuss!

As it is, my anxiety is through the roof for my friends and family going to the games. Mind was racing the point I had to take Ambien last night to fall asleep.
USA all day baby! (Minus the current debacle of an election we have going on.)
In other news, USA Women's Soccer beat New Zealand 2-0... Sorry @Razmael
