I plan on watching a lot. Always been more interested in the summer games than the winter.

Hopefully something doesn't go terribly wrong considering how the funding appears to have been so poorly managed.

Yeah, Brazilians are not happy

Reminds me of the Olympics in 1968 after the massacre of Tlatelolco. I asked my mom when I was a kid why she didn't remember anything. I guess it's going to be the same for them.

French gymnast breaks leg.
French gymnast Samir Aït Saïd was coming in for a landing after flipping several times off of the vault, when his left leg buckled and snapped horrifically upon contact with the ground.

As a warning, the video below is graphic.

So far only 1 bronze in Women's swim relay.

I've never watched women's rugby before, but a player for Great Britain's team is gorgeous.

Too bad they just lost though.
