Apparently less then 100 people were in the seats for the Canada v Argentina game (Mind you it was cold). Hoping this picksup

 

Not exactly an excuse, but some friends that are in Lima are saying that the weather is very cold right now, which is not a good match for summer sports (and I know this because I almost froze to death in one or two events in Rio).

Well it's still winter in South America, and Lima is regularly cloudy and chilly.

About to start. It bring me memories of my experience eight years ago, seeing an opening ceremony at my city.

I can't believe Bach was introduced as Olympic champion in fencing, 1976. This is getting insane.

Olympic CHampion in Fencing is there!!!

 

He was not acknowledged in Toronto 2015. He must have this in his contract of appearing now!

Lima is one of my favorite cities in South America. This opening ceremony brings back memories. ¡Arriba, Perú!
