Swimming at the Summer Olympic Games 2016

I took a 5 week trip up the East coast of Australia a few years ago in a camper van.  Beautiful country, lovely people.  A bit expensive, though.  Had so much fun, though.  

 

Depends where you go in terms of the expense, I'm used to it, and I don't drink a lot so I don't pay for alcohol much. I actually prefer to just have a soft drink watching some sport. A lot of the sports I like are in the middle of the night lol.

 

Both countries are beautiful, actually have an offer to go to Canada for winter next year- have to decide within the next month.

We always have great love for each countries, plus personally I travel to Canada quite a bit- actually snowboard a lot, and Canada has a lot of places I can go off course (safely of course). People in Canada are the friendliest too, genuinely love life I guess.

Love the Aussie's a lot, i always root in the Olympics for Australia, Germany, Great Britain, in fact every country who can beat the USA :hug::d

Don't mind some of the US swimmers, I just hate  Nathan Adrian and his antics, so I'm glad he was beaten and I hope he loses the 50m too.

 

I like the European countries, Canada, and a few of the smaller nations more. However the US can win instead of Russia though.

I don't mind Nathan Adrian Michael Phelps on the other hand.  I know he is good but i don't like his attitude of look at me I am the master of this pool.  Anyway, you Can be a champion but it's important to have a certain humilty about It.  Just my opinion though.  Regarding Russia, i am totally against them.  So I agree, if you Can beat them it's even better.

I hope Bogi Kapás can catch a medal in 800 free, someone has to save the ass of Gyárfás. :d

 

Also, Laci... Hope dies last but I think he will never get over his Phelps-phobia. :(

Seems that Theodora Giareni is the Greek athlete who failed the drug test. She is not on the start list for tomorrow's 50m freestyle.

Yep, you should have a sense of humilty towards others and always be gracious in defeat. It is sort of what I can't stand much about the US (bar a few swimmers), it is ALWAYS someone else's fault for them not winning. Lets just call it the Serena Williams textbook excuse.

    • @hckošice Do you agree with me to some extent, or am I hopelessly dreaming? 
    • Interesting forecasts, I like 'em! I think the US wins the most medals, but Norway tops the standings (most golds)... have Germany neck-and-neck with Norway for medals, but fewer gold.    Then have Canada and Italy fighting it out for 4th in 5th   Then have Sweden, Austrian, Japan, Netherlands and France rounding out the top ten, with them all within a medal or two of each other. Of course reality with differ significantly 
    • A huge day for the very young Italian Bertini: despite a very tough draw, he beats Szilagy in the round of 16 and Gu in the quarterfinals! First career podium for him! 
    • Time for more personal and detailed predictions:    will have it hard this time.   I'm trying to stay realistic about our chances. We're not going there as favorites in most events, and deep down I know it would be a big surprise if we suddenly overperformed or even dominated. Still, sports have a beautiful way of ignoring expectations.   We're never predicted to do amazingly well at either edition of the Olympics, so I’m desperately hoping for moments that will stay with everyone in the country for years, whether it's a final that keeps people glued to their screens or a performance that will make us proud. Just one medal could mean so much. It would bring real emotions and something to cheer for to a country that isn’t going through its best period right now. And on the rare occasion of a hockey miracle, celebrations in the streets wouldn't be an oddity.   It all comes down to four sports, the rest are out of reach:   Alpine Skiing is a big mystery, and it will all come down to Petra, whether she'll compete and eventually shock everyone with a heroic result. That's the best-case scenario. Biathlon can be the dark horse, you never know how things turn around. The women's relay is probably our biggest chance, but all four of them need to deliver great performances. As for Ice Hockey, our national sport, I'll always believe in another fairytale. I'll always believe we'll pull off a miracle. Since I wasn't alive yet when we won gold at the World Championships, I can only resort to watching old videos and imagine how amazing it must have been to watch as your country is the champion of the world in something. Best on the planet. Even the silver years later was amazing, but I was too young to actually remember it, so it's time for another hockey euphoria in the country. Ski Mountaineering is a bit overlooked in the media right now, but I believe we have a huge chance of winning a medal in one of the events. Our athletes aren't minnows.   We're a small country, still relatively young. There's not much we're known for in the world, but sports are a perfect way to build a national identity, to stop people from thinking you're still part of a state that ceased to exist decades ago. Doing well in sports is one of the few things these lesser-known countries can show off, not just the ones in Europe.   I'm desperately hoping for a medal, and we all want those two weeks of the Olympics to be amazing and full of unforgettable moments.
    • Never wanted a prediction to be more right 
    • Two weeks before the Games officially begin, time to give my final predictions on the medal standings.     will beat  and win the medal table at the WOG for the first time in 100 years. All the (absurd) retirements of elite Norge athletes last season will have its consequences and they will drop to second.    will my bold pick to return to the top 3 after their horrendous Beijing performance, when it comes to Gold medals.     Germany will slip down and will have less than 9 golds for the first time in 50 years. Depending on how the chips fall in some sports, they could even be outside the top 5.   Home team of  will have their best Olympics in some, better than Torino, but it still won't be enough to get into the top 5.
