For elite marathon runners diarrhea is not unusual; with good sanitation and good safe water.

This is not usually discussed on ESPN and the photos are waist up. It happens to the best of them.

Why anyone would want to go to some foreign country and give up their second amendment rights is beyond me.

Mr. Hankey, from South Park, Colorado, and family will have front row seats AND meet many new friends from Rio.

Raise your hands if you didn’t know holding the games in a third world hell hole would be a disaster. Oh, not many, not many.

“Anybody (any Brazilian FReeper or somebody who’s lived there recently) have any opinions or insider knowledge?”

Been there 5 times. Rio is better than Sao Paolo, but not by much. Like any other city, go to the nice section, all is good. Go to the favalas and not only are you an idiot, you will be a dead idiot.

And stay away from the hookers.

If you're an Olympic rower and even if you win gold, how much is that going to add to your annual income?

How many really big time endorsements is that going to return? And what's the chance?

So they're rowing for Obama's America in a place that looks like what the US is going to look like in a few years if we don't get a handle on immigration.

Where's the glory or honor in that?

If trend continue, then it looks like the Olympics may dwindle and die once again.

Eventually they will have to split the Olympics between several cities, or greatly scale down the number of events.
