    Judging by the atmosphere in some of the venues apparently, but this atrocity the pace maker is riding on is just pathetic.

    Olympics have been amazing IMO. Most events I've been so far were packed with fans. I'm not even talking about events involving Brazil that obviously will have a lot of people (Beach Volleyball in the fucking rain sold out), but things like Rugby and Field Hockey. Of course some things don't have great attendance but I don't mind. You can really expect people to show up for Archery when it's cold AF these days (I only went to this event because it's the Olympics after all, but I almost froze to death). And also there is things like Equestrian in which the cheapest ticket cost 300 reais (and there are only a few of these available), which is pretty expensive for most people - with this money, I can spend a day in Deodoro and watch Basketball, Field Hockey AND Rugby - and still have some money left for food.
     
    I think some of the stands could have fewer seats, but I understand that those are required by the federations (correct me if I'm wrong). I'm pretty sure other brazilians here have a similar opinion from what we talk among ourselves. But take this with a grain of salt. I'm a brazilian attending the Games so my opinion shouldn't really count.

    Nice! 
     
    There was an article published a couple of days before the 2015 Worlds by a journalist too afraid too cheer for Schooling because he was afraid he could jinx the guy, and he could hardly believe Schooling could get a medal at the World Championships at all (though he wanted it so, so bad). I can imagine how this journalist feels now. He must be thrilled!

    I remember being at the world champs in Barcelona in 2013 and cheering for him, because "cool, a decent swimmer from Singapore, let's cheer for him"

    Perhaps if you weren't so obviously ignorant you would have been aware that Armistead and Ohurougo were taken to task in both the written and broadcast media for their missed tests. Not sure why you think athletes like Farah or Froome should be attacked though.
     
    Of course, you don't want to discuss it! As the Donald Trump of this site you prefer to make outrageous and unsubstantiated attacks and then start to flail about when anyone stands up to you and exposes the patent nonsense which you propound.

    A Pacific island winning gold by beating a European nation which beat an African nation in the semi's after beating an Asian nation themselves while said European nation eliminated an American nation, talk about a great widespread set of countries in the knock-out stages 
     
    Great debut in the Olympics, I'm guessing rugby sevens is here to stay

    After her silver Yuri is being interviewed by this reporter and the reporter goes: "How do you feel? I know how hard it's been for you these months and...." and then the reporter starts crying and Yuri ends up consoling her lol

    Oh, I thought you already entered it before and want to change your predictions.
     
    And yes, you can enter now and predict events that haven't started yet.

    I still think there will be athletes giving away medals in actual stupid ways instead of with a beginner's mistake
