Hard to believe its been 4 years since the spectacle that was the London games. And it's even harder to believe the Sporting World will be focused on Rio de Janeiro for the next 3 weeks. Many questions are still to be answered about the City's ability to accommodate such an event, and questions will undoubtedly persist into the future about the decision to award them the "honor" in the first place.
But that's not the point of this thread. I've always loved the Olympics and I'll be tuning in as much as possible. Though the games officially kick-off Friday the competition has already begun with Women's Soccer today. (Spoiler Alert - Sweden beat South Africa 1-nil!!) So I hope to be updating this thread frequently with some of the major goings-on from Brazil.
Any thoughts on the upcoming events? I know you Brits will be looking for some Gold out of Froome, Murray, and Rose.
