I may be one of the last posters on this thread, except for Hawaii of course, just now watching the Rio segment, will be quite interesting to see what kind of opening ceremony they come up with, most likely a “Super Carnivale” is my guess.
But I am grateful to the powers that be that Obama was told to take a hike with his Chicago offering, can anyone image what they would have done?
What a Great Fire rendition and the stockyards for a stage?
Gotta give Britain praise for security at the least, they had somewhat good weather, and the stadiums and events seemed to be of high quality workmanship. At least they had none of the Chinese “smog” or polluted fog.
10,000 athletes from around the world, and no Chick-fil-a?

I thought GB did a fine job of the Olympics...for the most part the weather was fine, the facilities were wonderful, especially the pools, and the ceremonies well that was ok, the fire works was great. The security was good, not problems and only one athlete was caught using drugs..Not bad on the whole...
I had forgotten about Chicago’s bid! Good call!
Yet another embarrassment for the US starring BHO in front of the entire world.
