Zika, drugs, and medals: The Rio Olympics thread

I'm actually really looking forward the Olympics. This magical time every 4 years where I take residence on my sofa and watch obscure sports that I usually never give a shit about. I'm not being ironic here, I really love the Olympics. The only minus is that given Brazil's time zone I won't be able to gobble up as much sport as in 2012.

I hope that despite the apparently short odds on something going wrong, nothing goes wrong. So far it looks like Bolt is injured, so we're not off to a good start!

What are languish expectations on this?

A mutilated body just washed up on the volleyball beach. I expect fuck ups on at least that level to happen.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I predict the favela gangs will find ingenious, non-criminal ways to make money off wide-eyed tourists.

I'll try to follow the Olympic football tournament and some athletism events.

I am sure the BOPE, the Elite Squad, will be there should any favela gang try to misbehave.

Love the Olympics even if I don't have the time to watch it like I used to. And I could theoretically watch more of it because of the time zone :P

Hey! It is part of Putin's BRICS Empire that is going to rule the world.

I'll do the same as I've done for many years, skip it.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I think one aspect in which these games will really shine is in the hottness of the ushers.  Would be cool if they were topless.

For some reason, I've always much preferred the Winter games.

Nonsense.  Even ISIS has clean water standards.
