I love Winter Olympics but only watch some gymnastics and maybe done diving during summer Olympics. I don't care for the ceremonies which go on for do long and will not watch opening and closing. The stories about Rio's water pollution and crime are a turnoff. Add Zika virus and news about terrible conditions of badly built athletes' housing, and it all sounds pretty grim. Australian athletes vacating their housing during a fire were robbed of clothing and electronics!

Not interested at all.

I might watch part of the opening ceremonies but probably that's all. The awful conditions they are showing make it a lot less interesting for me. I hope our athletes do well though!

I was at the PGA Championship yesterday. One of the golfers, who will be going to Rio, had just putted his ball and everyone started chanting 'USA USA USA'.
Then some nut job started chanting 'ZIKA ZIKA ZIKA'. The golfer (can't remember his name lol) just looked at him like he was some kind of a nut.

Not just dire predictions. Some pretty nasty things have been happening for weeks.

For those of you going to watch, which station are you going to choose? I wish I knew which one will have the best coverage (i.e. the least amount of choppines in coverage) and focus on the main events.

I'm honestly scared for the athletes.
