Mexican fans getting crunk at the archery event. I get a smile whenever I see a wrestling mask in the crowd.

it bothers me that, seemingly, the line judges/officials are required to wear shoes on the sand during beach volleyball matches

I think Duncan would have been a good distance free guy (400 and 1500 free).. or a good 200 breaststroker.. not sure he would have a quick enough turnover for the sprints
matt grevers is the tallest guy I can think of, think he's 6'7 or 6'8.. clark smith, who was on the prelims for the 4 x200, is 6'9
phelps is 6'4.. lochte 6'2.. haas and dwyer are 6'5.. jack conger 6'4.. Adrian 6'6.. dressel 6'3
on the women's side: cate Campbell is 6'1.. ledecky 6.. hosszu 5'8.. missy 6'2.. sjostrom 6'1

My only beef with the IOC/ Olympics are the medals. 494 silver and 6 grams of gold??? for a gold medal.Take it back to the old days, where is was 100% pure gold
Isn't gold soft? Those medals would have a bunch of dents in it.

I feel like overall it's probably more lucrative to be in Track and field than Swimming. Besides Bolt, a few years back ppl like Yelena Isinbayeva and Liu Xiang became wealthy from Track and Field

easily..
and sun yang is exactly the type of swimmer I could see Duncan being.. or I could see him being a good 200 backstroker or 200 breaststroker.. long efficient strokes, where other dudes would have at the first 100 or so, but he probably just keep the same speed throughout (event split it.. so his back half is just as fast as his front half of the race).. I don't see him with the turnover to excel in the sprints.. but dude would have everything down, nailing turns and all that.. stroke count and rates.. every little detailed planned out

equestrian dressage is a weird sport / event. Basically a horse walking around and prancing.

DJing beach volleyball games in Manhattan Beach would be nice, or somewhere down in Brazil

The Olympics have several peculiar "sports". Not to say that it doesn't take skill to perform but still just odd to be an Olympic sport.

Magic City prime time team sweeping the podium.
Imagine strippers with "Olympic Gold Medalist" in that IG bio?
I'm here for it, curling is an Olympic sport so why not?

Just bring a stack of singles and support your local club and dancers. They always get high scores from me. Though I take a few points off since they always grab my hand when I try to check their temperature.

I wouldn't worry about it. I'm on the West Coast and have found that Olympic spoilers are pretty hard to avoid. Social media, the radio, etc. all give real-time Olympic updates. So, unless someone locks themselves in a room and turns off all their devices, they're probably going to get some spoilers. I still enjoy watching the events at night even when I know that the outcome is going to be.
