Updating my schedule with: Aug 7th 11:00 - 20:00 Tennis (TE007) Men's and Women's Singles, Doubles First Round Aug 13th 14:15 - 16:00 Basketball (BK037) Men's Preliminary Round ARGENTINA X BRAZIL Aug 19th 20:10 - 22:45 Athletics (AT014) Men's and Women's Prelims, Finals The Athletics ticket is the most expensive I bought for this Olympics, but it should be a great night with Women's Pole Vault and 4x100 Relays finals.

Yes, I heard some people from outside of Brazil managed to buy tickets in the official ticketing page. Anyway, if you're looking to buy tickets, the new batch will be available in a hour or so.

According to this, the sports with more tickets sold are (in order): Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Athletics and Handball. This Thursday, Rio will make available the last batch of tickets for brazilians fans with 100k new tickets across all sports. Hope to get something good

Fabíola is the only "shock" in the list. She didn't play any match in Grand Prix and had a baby in May. Adenízia's name is pretty much unnecessary IMO, should have picked another opposite (although she's being tested in this position).

Biggest shock for Brazil is the absence of Murilo, but he was having some injury problems and didn't play in the final phase of World League. Pretty "renovated" team comparing to 2012, with only 4 players returning, but kinda old in age (average of 30+ years).

Very bold. At least is unusual.

Surprised to see Table Tennis under the "no funding" sports list.

In the tickets page, they include 6 matches for the last 2 sessions of preliminary round (as opposed to the usual 4), but the seat is only for the main arena. I don't know what that means, but people may be able to watch these 2 matches at the sidelines of Court 1?

Schedule.

Katy Perry song for NBC:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's the first time since 1991 that none of the finalists are from Argentina or Brazil.

I don't think she will sing a song of hers

I'm loving the new Globo ads featuring sports that might give us medals: The most intriguing for me is the video that combines Athletics and Modern Pentathlon, two sports that might gives us medals but not necessarily. They feature Murer, Braz and Wagner Domingos (perhaps the most surprising name) for Athletics and Yane for Pentathlon.

CZECH REPUBLIC (Opening Ceremony)

That's so true. I watched the Gymnastics trials this weekend and I could break down their broadcast like this: 50% commercials; 30% interviews with athletes and families/sob stories/uplifting video clips; 20% actual competition.

Rio 2016 unveiled its 13 posters! A bit much if you ask me. Like in the previous Games we have a poster that just features the logo, and 13 posters by brazilian artists. The others:

I'm not exactly sure, but I think Brazil pays for accommodations (and transportation to the venues, of course), and federations pay for travel expenses.

Yes, team officials will stay in the Village. The number of people expected during the Games is 17,000.

Ok... fair enough.

Do you think the women's team will win a medal?
