I was actually curious earlier and looked up the US gymnasts ages:

Simone Biles: 19
Gabby Douglas: 20
Madison Kocian: 19
Laurie Hernandez: 16
Aly Raisman: 22

That doesn't make it less creepy calling them ugly/slutty though.
the oldest one is nicknamed "Grandma" because she's the oldest and she likes to nap a lot. personally i can't wait for Gabby to get the individual gold again only to once again be overshadowed by the white girl with the stupid first name simply because she made a memeable face. ain't America great?

Greek official suffers $11,000 theft

The crime wave engulfing the Olympics has claimed another victim with a top Greek official reportedly having $11,000 of electronics equipment stolen from a plush Rio hotel.

The Daily Mail reported that Stratos Safioleas, a public relations bid specialist, suffered the loss of camera and computer equipment stolen while he was having a meal in the Marriott Hotel next to the Olympic Park.

The hotel reportedly refused to show him CCTV, so Safioleas called the police. As a result, the Daily Mail said the hotel would no longer deal with him, so he has hired a lawyer to take legal action against them.

Includes the Australians knife story too, everyone is getting robbed.

is there a google doc or something that has a list of all the crimes done towards athletes and other olympic people in rio so far? i know that two aussie athletes got mugged at knifepoint but that's it, unless you're counting pre-opening ceremonies stuff
luckily it's just small fractures and not a spinal cord break or death. that was intense

One of the Spanish water polo players just got ejected from the game because his face was bleeding, I'm not sure how it happened. Let's hope Rio understands chlorine otherwise all the water polo teams will be dead of HIV or something.
