I'm pumped for the youngsters on the swim team this year. Ryan Murphy and Katie Ledecky are about to become household names.

Also one last Phelps/Lochte duel in the 200 IM

The equestrian sports. If they all don't die first. 2 non Olympic horses were euthanized on the grounds from a crazy contagious illness

I just want everybody to know that I will be down voting anyone that only has negative things to say about this Olympics and the venues. You have been warned.

I'm just worried about sending million dollar horses ANYWHERE with ongoing outbreak issues. Including places in the us. Not just a dig at rio.

It really is a shame. I can't believe that Brazil was able to get the WC and Olympics back to back. It's a disgrace to an incredible sporting event.
