**** Official Rio Olympics Thread****
 

Opening Ceremony is Fri, Aug 5.

Website sucks so bad: https://www.rio2016.com/en

Schedule of events: http://www.nbcolympics.com/full-schedule

USWNT beat New Zealand last night.

I feel sorry for the athletes, that place is a dump. I just hope everyone gets out of there without any terrorist bullshit.

If there's a year for the Olympics to be terrorized, this is it.

I think it was 1972, Dave.

Also, good luck to J'Den Cox.

I can't wait for the skateboarding competition.

"He's rolling down the track. Now he's rolling up. Oh, he turned around at the top, and now he's going back down. Back up, and oh, he ran his board briefly across the edge! Now back down. Gold medal!"

Rio Olympic officials literally lost the keys to their olympic stadium today and had to use bolt cutters to get in.

:spock:

This is going to be Tropic Thunder: Olympic Edition...

The only real concern is that if everyone lives through the opening ceremony...will more of them come down with Zika or Cruise Ship Sushi Montezuma's revenge?

It's like some Windows 8 tile nightmare...

I picked a random one and watched a video of it, but it was just a guy doing a little flip of his skateboard.

Spoiler alert: strong boredom ahead.

These were the Olympics that were supposed to be in Chicago.

No thanks
