I agree with the sentiment-the fallen athletes should be remembered....but is this a good idea considering ISIS is running rampant?

Compete in bacteria and feces filled water?
Athletes at Rio Olympics to compete in 'basically raw sewage', study reveals https://www.theguardian.com/sport/20...-study-reveals "An AP analysis of water quality revealed dangerously high levels of viruses and bacteria from human sewage in Olympic and Paralympic venues – results that alarmed international experts and dismayed competitors training in Rio, some of whom have already fallen ill with fevers, vomiting and diarrhea." "Despite decades of official pledges to clean up the mess, the stench of raw sewage still greets travelers touching down at Rio’s international airport. Prime beaches are deserted because the surf is thick with putrid sludge, and periodic die-offs leave the Olympic lake, Rodrigo de Freitas, littered with rotting fish." "Kristina Mena, a US expert in risk assessment for waterborne viruses, examined the AP data and estimated that international athletes at all water venues would have a 99% chance of infection if they ingested just three teaspoons of water – though whether a person will fall ill depends on immunity and other factors. |

yes I saw a whole deal on this and how Police are bullying to get folks under control. Lots of invasions by the police - some legit - some not - seems they're trying to 'hurry up' and get the streets safe, at almost any cost. I think I saw the spotlight about this on ESPN about a month or two ago.

The parade was over. It flipped its shit and a cop shot it at the zoo it lived at. It didn't actually attack anything. And it wasn't the official mascot of the Olympics. Another jaguar is the mascot of the Brazilian Olympic team and I think it's a cartoon. And it happened a while back, at least a week ago But you had everything else right |

Unfortunately you hit the nail on the head. I love the Olympics, and look forward to them, but these games should be cancelled b/c I do not believe Brazil's gov't has the resources or the capacity to adequately secure them. This is the REAL danger NOT Zika.

The second week is track. If you want to see other sports (or the entire competitions) download the NBC app (which most of the time is the IOC feed). BTW I think Rio is just 2 hours ahead of KC. |

If anyone wants a taste of what a wretched shithole that city is go poke around on Google Streetview for a while. And I'm sure they didn't even bother going into the worst areas.
