if someone is in the bottom 10%~ of a guillotine
Rory McIlroy, probably one of the biggest names in golf, is apparently not going to the Olympics because of Zika:

quote:

Rory McIlroy has pulled out of the Olympic Games in Rio because of concerns about the Zika virus.

In a statement, McIlroy said that "my health and my family's health comes before everything else".

I wonder if this will inspire more athletes to do similar.

I like the idea of having a permanent Olympic base in Greece. It would make far sense logistically.

Where would a likely permanent base for the winter Olympics be, though? That would probably a far more contentious choice.

They're "looking for a cheap flight"? How do they expect to book last minute flights home for the entire Kenyan delegation without paying a fortune?

Surely thats the sort of thing that should be booked months in advance.
