NBC is once again tape delaying the opening ceremonies, even though it's an hour ahead of the US East Coast.

So I really hope they're streaming the Ceremonies on YT.

I'm not concerned, it doesn't properly start until Friday anyway, they're only random football matches.

True, but with all the uncertainty around these games it's really not been the most promising of build ups

No it's all a bit negative and depressing. I shall enjoy them still anyway.

It's in Brazil what do people expect lol, to many will try and compare it to how Beijing and London were where the population could actually afford to go and people would actually travel to go there, just take it for what it is.

It's not even that. It's people not wanting to go there to compete, facilities not yet ready/damaged, the sea being full of sewage and unsafe for people to use, the whole thing with the Russians, theres so much negativity going on theres not been any real excitement leading up to this

I'm sure there was the same pessimism before London too though, you had people and the right wing press moaning about what a huge waste of money it was going to be, and then the whole charade regarding G4S and the army being drafted in. And look how it turned out

I think it just tends to be the way the world looks at things these days I'm sure (and I hope) it'll all be fine when the sport gets started

The whole thing with people not going there to compete is their own problem for being greedy and that's mainly just the Golfers who dont want to give anything back when they take take take all year and using Zika as an excuse when Doctors have said their is little risk so no real loss there and as a 1st time event at the olympics it will still get interest no matter who goes

As for the Russian thing, they've banned the ban problem which was track and field.


If Gaitlin v Bolt, Mo and Dafne Schippers going for the double, JEH v KJT v BTE and Phelps v Le Clos doesn't get you hyped nothing at the olympics ever will

They hosted the World Cup 2 years ago as well and that was more of a success then this year's Euros when you think about the security measures despite being less financially equipped then France, if they deal with a WC some ****ty sewerage will be a piece of cake

I love the Olympics, I'm still going to enjoy it, always have and always will, but the general build up and feeling towards it has been disappointing but understandable. Hopefully Jacks right and the mood changes once its properly begun

The mood will be in good spirits until someone chokes to death on ****e and sewerage whilst competing in the Triathlon in the final few days of the events then you will come in here and say " told you something wasn't right "
