2016 Rio Summer Olympics

Found out tonight the girl who won the triathlon lives on the apartments directly behind my parents house. Wonder if my dad will ask to see the gold medal.

Really shows you the non-superstars are actually normal people.
 
So I looked at future Olympic sites. Japan, South Korea, then China again?

She was just your typical 9-5 accountant like 3 years ago or something.
 
Goodbye Rio

Victory, defeat, gold, silver, and bronze. Americans shined snagging 121 medals including 46 gold. I'll miss it. Stay tuned folks as we return to our regular scheduled programming of endless political ads full of bullsh*t and lies. T.V. is now in the OFF position.
I just realized while the ads were repetitive, they weren't political. "CLICK"

Yeah, I think it's because two of those are Winter Olympics and not many countries want those. I think the China one was down to them and Kazakstan.
 
Yeah I saw Beijing will be the first city to host both a summer and Winter Olympics.

I heard their 2008 venues are not being used so I'm surprised they bid again. My favorite winter games were Vancouver because the scenery was so beautiful. Sochi was not nearly as nice.

Too bad the next three won't be live in primetime. NBC probably hoping for games in Chicago or Dallas or something.

The thing I hated about Sochi was how the climate was terrible for winter games. I remember it cost Shawn white a gold medal because the half pipe was melting. The announcers even talked about how only the first competitor got a good run because the snow was so awful.

The South Korea 2018 Olympics will be the same way. All fake snow.
