Ayatollah Hermione 13869 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 After the roaring success of my Euros thread, I thought I'd start this for what looks set to be a complete disaster. The velodrome hasn't been built, the Zika virus might kill every unborn baby in sight, the pollution in the rivers is making the Brazilian athletes ill, the defense budget has been slashed so much that a Paralympian was mugged at gun point outside of her hotel and they've just impeached their President. I can't fucking wait to see that ginger hop, skip and jumper jump in his sand pit and land on a used needle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13869 Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 So, just about every Russian athlete isn't going thanks to them loving their drugs and the BBC say that these kind of scandals are limiting interest in the games, proving that people watch these to see freakish lasses chuck a hammer for 17 miles. I'm still excited like. Some more football, Scandinavian women playing handball and potential of the swimmers contracting cholera from the water should all be good fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 20146 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 The London Olympics was the dirtiest in history, yet not many holders were done and no GB Athletes good old Coe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I'm really excited for this btw, even with some of the late event times for those of us running on GMT. Really like athletics. Going back to 2012 the outstanding track and field moment for me had to be that 800m final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35083 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 The men's 800m final was unbelievable like. Incredible piece of running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44881 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Aye that happened the same day as Ennis and all them iirc and blew the lot of them out of the water.

wykikitoon 20146 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Well the opening ceremony is this evening.Should be a good laugh. Watch golden girl 'R Lizzie' romp away with Womens Gold in the Road Race, followed by the Dawg smashing the TT and possibly the RR.I follow a cyclist on Twitter who is there and has been there for a week or so and he said ignore all the media reports about the village and stuff not been finished, he said it looks superb. Facilities are amazing AND each fucking athlete gets a free Samsung phone!Can Rio beat London as the dirtiest games in history? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 20146 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Is there much interest in this at all? In 2012 I wasnt bothered until the opening day and I watched quite a lot. Not sure I will as much due to the time difference this year but should be good to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1245 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I watched very little last time around for some reason. Think I'll try and watch a bit more this time but with the football starting today also my attention will be firmly on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
