You know, with some slight tweaking, you could almost morph that Rio2016 from a Bio2016 to an very stylized 'Biohazard' (2 gets a bit more wavy and becomes an 'H', the o becomes an 'a', the '1' gets a some cursive to make it look like an 'z' and 6 gets flipped backwards to look a bit like an overlapping 'ard'.)

Yes, I'm overthinking it.

There are a lot of posh idiots in the UK who think Dressage is normal, and the BBC will show every loving minute of that over oik peasant sports.

nah there's a pretty good chance the UK female boxer is gonna take a medal, I forget which weight class

Mo Farah is a good long distance runner, and cycling did pretty well last time out

E: I suppose it doesn't contradict you, you could say they're good single athletes, but since these days any athlete only has a very limited competitive lifespan it's much less consistent than it used to be for any country. But boxing, usually some kind of long distance or marathon runner, like a diver or a swimmer, sailing and rowing as you say, and cycling are pretty consistent events for the UK

Anyway UK gold for dressage, calling it now.

Yeah as much as I poo poo on our overcrowded rainy island, we did ok last year...

3rd place after the richest country in the world with 5x the population (and less inbreeding) and a country with a billion people.....we did ok!

Don't even any of them going to the poo poo storm that is Rio though.

Chinese journalists get caught in a shootout!

A shootout occurred near a bus ferrying Chinese journalists from the airport to the Olympic village in Rio de Janeiro, the South China Morning Post reports.

No reporters were harmed in the incident, but six local people were reported dead, the paper says.

The shootout occurred on Wednesday night when the journalists were travelling to cover the arrival of the Chinese national basketball team in Rio.

"The coach that the journalists were on encountered gunfire and six locals were killed," said a member of the Chinese team, clarifying that the basketball team was travelling in another vehicle and avoided the incident.

The Chinese delegation to Rio has already witnessed several other unpleasant incidents, prompting a Chinese police official to travel to the Olympic village to collaborate on security.

On July 29, an allegedly drunk man vomited on hurdler Shi Dongpeng and a journalist accompanying him to create a distraction and steal their belongings.

While Shi was cleaning himself and the reporter pursued the "aggressor", an accomplice of the man snatched the journalist's suitcase that contained cameras and laptops, according to the Chinese consulate in Rio de Janeiro.

Days before the incident, members of the Chinese women's fencing team were also subjected to a robbery attempt while they were strolling through Copacabana and some teens tried to snatch a necklace from the neck of star fencer Xu Anqi.

Also, I updated the OP with stuff, and I will probably need this post later for gifs and stuff because the first page is loaded down with so much junk already. It just doesn't stop.

the hilarious thing about the opening is that it's directed by Fernando meirelles, the director of the elite squad movies. he also has been marked for death by the police because of the movies, so i wonder if he'll be present at the events. i also feel bad for him
