Summer Olympic Games 2016 Official Countdown Thread

[OlympicIRL 5,659]

 

As we come to the 50 days to go milestone until the Games of the XXXIst Olympiad in Rio, it's time to open our official countdown thread here on Totallympics. Members can post here on the thread day-by-day to help build the excitement in the coming weeks as we countdown to the big event. This thread can be used to mark any milestones on the way, such as the opening of the Olympic village, tracking the arrival of delegations, the raising of our national flags in the Olympic village, news and details about the Opening Ceremony and so on.

 

To help us countdown the days ahead, I have created an Olympic Countdown Clock, consisting of the numbers 1-50 which represent the 5 Olympic rings. As each day passes, another piece of the Olympic ring is shaded in colour until the 1 day to go milestone, after which the 5 coloured rings will be depicted in their complete form.

 

Also, it is intended that this thread could be used to post fun facts or trivia about Olympic Games and athletes, past and present, anything users think would be of interest, perhaps even incorporating the number of days to go in their item of trivia: for example, on the 22 days to go milestone, a fun fact might point out that 22 is the number of medals that the most decorated Olympian of all-time, Michael Phelps, has won in his career. I am sure users can be even more creative than me in this aspect .

 

So without further ado, let the countdown to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games begin
