Feel The Rio Olympic Fever

Olympic fever is definitely hitting eUSA in a huge way. Don't worry I trust you that it will be safe when you arrive at Olympics. Do you have your ticket?

Yes I have tickets too.

I don't need to repeat myself but yes I am pretty excited that the tickets I got are free and I can sit in my own living room without having to go to Rio. There is an easy way out to avoid the stench.

Some of the sports I am looking for is swimming. I am so excited it got me to get off the couch to actually get the potato chips because its such a thrilling sport. Wonder who will win the gold?

Then there is running which I always gets the heart pumping. You never know what will happen. Anyways Cool Runnings!

Then there are the sports like shock put. Even so the many face of this sport that makes me ponder the meaning of life itself like "Why am I watching this?". Definitely better than watching race cars making left turns all day than to the usual preferred option to watch paint dry I suppose. Once again I am watching this from my couch without traveling to Rio and that ticket to the games is still free.

No matter what sport you watching they are always entertaining and someone always gets a medal whether its gold, bronze or silver for their nation. After all everyone wants to win the gold.

So why am I telling that you should watch the Olympics? Simple answer...

As for Russia in the Olympics, I have nothing much to say about them.

Enjoy the Olympics Games in Rio! Trust me better to sit on your couch instead of traveling there. Trust me what goes on in Rio stays in Rio.

I think you're kinda missing the point a bit. Do you play any sports yourself Schu?

I've played (field) hockey for 25 years and love watching the matches, just to see what people with the skills and the time can actually accomplish. Any team sport is fantastic to watch!

Normally individual sports (tennis, golf etc) bore me to tears. Not so with athletics, for some reason. Almost all of us can run, jump and throw things. Measure out a 100 m track and see how far it actually is when you stand at the end. Dive into a pool and try to do even just four laps at top speed. With racing turns, because we can all totally do that, right? Try and throw a lightweight ball like a baseball as far as the shotput. Or mark the Olympic high jump bar on the side of your house. Seriously - I'm not short at 5'10" and its above my head! Can you jump over a person? Or even imagine being able to? What about get your bike up approaching velodrome speeds? Use a big hill, and try not to panic because it feels so much faster with only clothes between your body and the hard ground than when you're driving.

Ignore the medal tally BS, and the nationalistic claptrap that comes with it. Watch it for the simple joy of people achieving outrageous things. And often doing these outrageous things using just their bodies.

I was football manager when I was in High School but that close of being involved in sports. That's American football, not soccer.
