    I know, couldnt believe it myself. Went to bed at like 3am one night while the olympics was on. Switched over hoping to find beach volleyball or something simaler on at that ungodly hour but sadly there was bugger all on except for the mens pole vault. Wound up initially having it on for a few minutes as background noise, before you know it its gone 4am and ive watched the whole bleeding thing. Ashamd as i am, i was hooked (saying that sleep deprivation may have played a part as well lol).

    well it was a success overall, both olympics went off much better than the media was speculating, hopefully it will leave them a legacy to build on, we have gone from strength to strength sine London 2012. great viewing, even if at horrible (normally rampant tv channels times lol)

    It's hard to believe that Rio de Janeiro hosted the Summer Olympics just six months ago.
    Today, the Olympic Village has turned into a ghost town, and many of the venues have fallen into disrepair.
    At the Maracana Stadium, the power has been turned off because there is nobody to pay the energy bill. Water in one practice pool is orange. Turf has turned brown and, along with countless stadium seats, inexplicably removed from the field.
    And that doesn't even begin to describe the situation in Rio's favelas, which were supposed to be cleaned up ahead of the start of the Olympics. Instead, as Gizmodo noted, sewage and feces flow through the streets "in small rivers."
    Of course, none of this should come as much of a surprise. Time and again we have seen Olympic hosts promise that the billions of dollars spent on the two-week spectacle would have a lasting effect on the local economy and its citizens only to watch silently as the venues are abandoned and begin to decay.
    Here's what Rio's Olympic venues look like six months later.  https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/olympics...spartanntp :( :( :(

    no surprise hearing this as the country is in the midst of the worst recession in modern history apparently. All that money spent when theres so much more important issues that it could've and should've been used on

    Anyone think the Olympics is going to happen next year as I'm not sure what everyone else think. does anyone else know who is hosting the Olympics after or instead of Tokyo just wondering as I'm not sure.

    Well it got pushed back a year so should all go ahead provided all the countries globally have settled the virus. We do have a vaccine now so i'm sure come next summer the situation will be much better globally for it to go ahead. No clue on who's hosting after Tokyo though, i'm wandering if it'll be held in 2014 as not to disrupt the schedule permanently.
