    I'm glad the women's 4x100 relay team won their protest. They dropped the baton this morning after being bumped by the person next to her. They were able to run the event on an empty track and qualified for the finals.

    Did anyone mention that lady who has medaled at six straight Olympics?

    It was mentioned, nobody cares because it's not an athletic sport. A person can shoot well from the age of grade school until they are in their 80's, which makes six straight Olympics just not that impressive.

    Well, on the other side of the coin....

    I love this idea of usage of leftover food that is made into something delicious for those in need. Great idea for sure.

    BTW, congratulations to BRASIL on their gold win in soccer and volleyball. I'm sure those wins amongst others has made these Olympics a joy for your country.

    Peace

    Or the fact that you loathe anything that has to do with guns.

    Pretty sure rgambs isn't the only one who doesn't give a shit.
    Shooting? Honestly, I'd forgotten that was even an event, and i am an Olympics junkie. No one cares.

    Low ratings, minimal media coverage. That suggests a lot more people than me and rgambs don't give a shit.

    So ... not all Olympic sports draw high ratings and most are poorly attended ...

    Who would know there are more to the olympics than just gymnastics, track and field and swimming? the coverage has completely sucked and olympic ratings have hit an all time low for nbc. maybe air some new sports.
