Rio 2016 Olympics

Hey guys, noticed no ones mentioned anything about the Olympics. Is anyone hoping for a specific country to win; or have any role model athletes?

Personally I think Usain Bolt is on fire. And Mo Farah.

I tend to focus on Athletics, Swimming, Diving and Gymnastics.
I was watching swimming yesterday; Katie Ledecky, beating that swimming world record on 800m freestyle was so inspiring to watch. And Michael Phelps breaking records for 23rd time receiving a gold medal, its a shame he's deciding to retire.
American athletes are doing so amazing. I wish UK could do the same, but they're not doing bad. XD

Btw there's also an event where you can guess who might win; based on specific IRL events.. if anyone thinks they can guess it right, win chance to earn points and be in chance of winning cash prize $100.

I think It'll be in order of;
America,
UK,
China/Russia or I think the underdogs might be Germany.

Juan Martin Del Potro has always been a favorite tennis player of mine. Seeing him snag Silver after brutal injuries was amazing.

I was watching Women's Soccer but the US lost so not following it anymore.

Only other things I follow is basketball and swimming.

I've not kept my eye on basketball. But I did look into cycling.

I swear when athletes are on that winning moment; it's a nice feeling/watch.
Really inspiring stuff. USA are seriously winning the way in medals, but there are so many more events to go; I feel it might be a tight call between GB/China but you never know.

USA has dominated almost every event. So far Simone Biles, Michael Phelps, and Usain Bolt are proving their dominance.

Currently watching the gold medal women's soccer match between Germany/Sweden. Usually not a fan of soccer but the women play hard. The men just whine and complain and fake injuries.

I am excited for the wrestling portion of this.
