2016 Summer Olympics: Rio preparations are 'worst' ever, says IOC VP

[Dimmauk]

One of my swim bros said that a certain douche got mad that he couldn't open the bathroom door, so he spartan kicked it open. Turns out the door was a pull open , and not a push open door. LOL

[Roranora]

That's impressive to open a pull door with a drunken kick.

[Xno Kappa]

At the very least the falsification of the story is a misdemeanor and in no way justifies having your passports pulled. This is as much as Brazil making a political statement after their shit show of the Olympics.

[tyven]

Man can you imagine the shitshow that would be going on here if it was foreign athletes accusing our police of something like this? omg FOX news would be INCREDIBLE.

If you have only been watching NBC's terribad primetime coverage you probably haven't heard about moments like these. This is why I watch the Olympics.

Emma Coburn of the US won bronze in the 3000m steeplechase final. She is the first American women to ever win a medal in the event and on top of that set a new American record. What was so great about it is for her it was not about her placement in the race. She seems like such a nice person. This is the post race interview. NBC chopped it up which makes me mad cause the whole thing was really great but it is the only one I could find. In the full interview she is so humble and sweet and she gave a shout out to a pizza parlor she used to work at and how much fun she had working there.





In a women's 5000m qualifying race Abbey D'Agostino of the US collided with Nikki Hamblin of New Zealand and both of them went down really hard. The fall:



D'Agostino got back up first and encouraged Hamblin to finish the race. They both started to continue on but then D'Agostino went down again and it was clear she was seriously hurt. Then in turn Hamblin got D'Agostino back up and she finished the race limping the whole way. She had to complete two more full laps around the track to finish. Keep that in mind for what is next..

After the race they said she was going to have a MRI at the hospital later that day. It showed a complete tear of her right ACL, a meniscus tear, and a strained MCL. So that means she finished the race in that condition! She went two whole laps around the damn track!! I watched it live and I don't know how she did it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but since Lochte is already back in the US, unless US authorities forcibly take him back to Brazil (which they won't), he's pretty much safe from whatever he's charged with in Brazil yeah? I mean those bros who are still there might face some shit but he's home safe?

[octopus]

Well yeah, but he probably won't be able to travel to whatever countries that has extradition agreements with Brazil anymore (depending if Brazil wants to make a big deal out of this

Don't think this is severe enough for extradition. The other swimmers most likely saying whatever they can to leave as soon as possible. Pulling passports on those not involved is a bit excessive though probably scaring the crap out of them.

My opinion, Brazil should be concentrating on those dead bodies floating down the river or the kids targeting tourists and a hundred other things. Maybe go back and explain about the Jiu Jitsu guy from New zealand robbery before the Olympics started.

Thank You! Douchey American will be douchey American. They're really making a big deal out of nothing.

[Cail]

Another report out that they have not been indicted

[Cail]

Also, and more importantly, Usain Bolt is ridiculous

[tyven]

lol @ how easy that looked. At age 29 do we think he has one more in him? Gatlin showed okay at 35

[Krandor]

He's said he wants to retire after the 2017 world championship

How long until he becomes severely obese from not realizing he doesn't need 20 million calories a day to power that engine of a heart?
