    That race is on TV right now, but I have the volume off because I've been on the official Olympic website trying to see if I can watch other sports that I'm more interested in. That, and the fact that I don't have satellite or cable TV & my reception of the local NBC channel is less then 100% clear. Nevertheless, they are keeping the camera on the racers, so maybe NBC is trying to pretend that there's nothing going on at the finish line.

    My guess is NBC won't show any of it. I have the sound down too.

    I'm not watching since many athletes ducked out due to Zika fears and the Russians were banned for doping reasons so what, exactly, does a gold medal say - that you were the best among the people who chose to attend and weren't banned? When the Olympics used to be Free World vs. Communism, there was real international tension at stake. Now that we're all various shades of socialism, the only thing to root for is individual achievements. Meh.

    The Soviet Union & the rest of the Warsaw Pact, minus Romania, boycotted the ’84 games. I don’t know the exact number of elite athletes that are missing these games, but I bet not nearly as many as missed in ’84.

    ...and while the '84 games were enjoyable as a spectacle and a boost to the US Olympic program, most of the athletes know it was bogus since the Soviet bloc wasn't there. And was also true of the 1980 Olympics that the U.S. boycotted over Afghanistan (how ironic).

    Gutted by Geraint Thomas's fall in the last 10km of the Men's Cycling Road Race.
    Some spectacular scenery though on this brute of a route.

    Exciting race. Great strategy for those 2 racers who chased down the Polish racer who had the big lead.

    Just watched a Russian swimmer, so I guess there was a change in that situation.
