Jpan85 Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Thought I would fire up a Olympics thread up. Always love the olympics. Also predict that it will be not as bad as all the doom and gloom that the media is predicting.

17to85 Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 I always love the olympics too, it's fun watching the sports that aren't seen every day and pretending to be an expert on them. I know there are always questions about the host city and "oh it's going to be a disaster" but I really think that this time it's a lot more valid. Things not being finished like the case in Sochi or China being corrupt and lots of air pollution are one thing, but all the reports of you're putting your health at risk by going in the water are quite another.

kelownabomberfan Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) what's with all of these famous Taylor's from Kelowna? Taylor Kitsch, Taylor Loffler and now Taylor Ruck, winning bronze in swimming for Canada. She's my buddie's grand-niece so he's super pumped that she won a medal, they've been following her swimming for a long time.

Coming into the games, Canada had a good shot at a medal so it wasn't a huge shock. Getting bronze was nice though since they had lost to GB in the prelims.
