What kind of mascot is that supposed to be? Looks like a cross between a piece of s**t and a red feathered bird.

That chick who won the gold for the US in the 800m wont be repeating. She fell down in the US trials.

Can't wait for this! US men's and women's should completely dominate track and field. Swimming teams are pretty strong too and GOAT Biles is so so so back!

Let's go USA!!!

I think the cycling team was actually in Brussels at the time, but sounds like things are off to a great start lol

I will watch and enjoy everything except any gymnastics, artistic swimming, and break dancing. Track and field is probably my favorite. The biased judging in boxing can get on a person's nerves.

I'll watch gymnastics if it's Simone, that type of athleticism is nuts, but ya overall idc either.

Pretty much. I'm not missing Biles performances. Even watched her Trials stuff.

Love track & field - swimming - team sports - like pretty much most events unless they are Marathons or synchronized swimming or dancing or Equestrian stuff.

Like fencing - archery - shooting stuff too and obviously team sports stuff.

Yeah, any sport that is judged is suspect. Will watch to appreciate the athleticism, but don't put any credence in the medal winners or losers. You can add diving to the list as well,

I was in Paris in May and it was kinda cool seeing the Olympic stuff, glad it wasn't everywhere at the time. Man I can only imagine the crowds and traffic.
