Rio Olympics 2016

fetid

What a great word. I don't believe I have ever used that in a sentence.

 

[Teebin]

The Brits certainly know how to row!

 

[GAcoaster]

Living on an island will make you pretty good around the water

 

[Teebin]

Is this steeplechase running thing new? I have never seen them hopping into water before.

 

[Teebin]

Hm, I didn't know they still said "en garde" in fencing... Sounds like something out of Errol Flynn movie.

 

[Teebin]

While not quite Munich, Rio is something else. Ryan Lochte was robbed at gunpoint yesterday. Such news is great for tourism don't cha know. :saywhat:

 

[Teebin]

Isn't quite something that Michael Phelps has more gold medals than many many countries throughout the world.

Like him or hate him he was given the genes that made him the best swimmer ever and he worked hard to put those genes to best use.

 

[Teebin]

These competitors are so impressive. It is as if they are young and physically fit. :stun:

 

[UAN17]

Wow GB has caught the Olympic bug once more (and I don't mean Zika)

We do punch well above our weight for a small little Island. The lottery funding helps for sure but that's only part of the battle.

 

[Teebin]

A commentator during a wind surfing event just said, "I don't know much about wind surfing but..." and I turned to the tv and said, "Why are you commenting then???"

 

[Teebin]

Swimmers held in Rio? If Brazil was smart, they would just let it go. They are beginning to look like Iran.

 

[BJCool]

Most embarrassing Olympics in recent memory?

 

[Nick]

And they're holding them over what? Saying they got robbed and there not being any hard evidence that it happened? Oh boy, big deal. Either way, they were still the victims and Rio is treating them like they committed a crime.

 

[GAcoaster]

In Brazil it is a crime to falsely claim to be a crime victim.

I agree, they should just let this go and it will all be forgotten, but the pride of the country is not allowing that.

There's just something very North Korea about how this is being handled.

 

[Nick]

Ok, I change my stance completely. Seems Lochte & Co. we're fabricating excessively and there wasn't even a gun among other things.

Will be interesting to see what happens to the three guys left in Brazil still.

 

[Teebin]

And now it turns out that they smashed up a bathroom at the gas station and were confronted by the station security guard. Can you say, Hot Water!

Annnnnnd Lochte and Feigner are being indicted. The other 2 swimmers are basically calling both of them liars.

Apparently they were not indicted. Still could be, but they are saying now they aren't.
