Reading about it, it seems like capacity will be increased to 60.000 more acceptable.
I agree with you, but Rio already has 2 great stadiums.

Ride horses, you can go to the next 10 Olympics if you're good.
ha. I was just thinking that this sounds like how they'd announce the Thanksgiving Day parade.
I know i'm beautiful.

There's a version of the logo in union flag colours which I quite like; the flag design distracts from the shapes *just* enough.

The Winter Olympics is a great reminder that the real Olympics is just two years away.
There are black hockey players in case you weren't aware. Have you ever heard of Jarome Iginla or the other African-Canadian/African-American hockey players in the NHL?
I'm going to watch the archery from the beginning, missed most of that.

The idea of riding a horse terrifies me.
I guess I'll just try every sport possible and hopefully find one that I engage with extremely quickly!
Are you being intentionally dense? Who said anything about that?
An event that prominently features sports practiced on snow is dominated by countries where there is snow? Is not that hard to get.

Try watching them at 30.
you're projecting too much, there. roar.
Will it be open after the games for a while? They're going to be demolishing stuff and starting regeneration etc, it'd be good if as much as possible is still open to the public.

Sounds hot, what do you plan on doing to them after they're out of their jeans?
It's kind of surprising this never seems to happen.

I'll miss watching the reactions of tape delay GAF. 
Yeh, most of Latin America and Africa have no deal in winter sports.
No athlete wants to risk the bad publicity and possible disqualification..
What are those, old British fairy tales?
Disqualification? For what? Olympic village rules?
Well they need time for some stupid fucking sitcom premier.
I want to punch his hair, it's like a douchebag unto itself.
Disgracing their country.
An athlete was sent home because pictures of him blind drunk ending up in the press.

Someone got disqualified for having a neo-nazi boyfriend this year.
There's always one bad apple
I was really disappointed when New York didn't win it, but thinking of all the construction, congestion, and attention just scared me off quickly.

Watch NBC tape everything again ;ol.
Wasn't the US unofficially 'black listed' from bidding because you guys had beef with the IOC after Atlanta or SLC?
Maybe ESPN can come up with another billion or so to outbid NBC.

New York or Chicago will almost assuredly get them in 2024 now that the USOC and IOC resolved their revenue dispute, IOC wants dat American sponsorship cash.
Yes, you.

They will. They delayed the Vancouver olympics which is in the same time zone as NBC
Are you sure we'll bid?

Not sure about after the Paralympics.
I would guess probably not for a while, just dismantling all the temporary stuff before they start the actual reconstruction of parts of the site would likely take a while.
