The official site design is extremely chaotic for a while 

 

I hope they make a layout change, since this current layout, in theory, it is already old.

I don't really go to Instagram, but I guess #rio2016 should do the trick.

The previous posters are right, for example on Hungary's page it says 151 athletes qualified for the OG, while according to my recent information it is 158 or 159.

For some nit-picking: the site says "Hungarians are strong at fencing and the canoe sprint". For the first, WERE or USED TO BE is the appropriate word
