Have I just not been paying attention, but have these Olympics been just about unheard of? You normally see all sorts of stuff in the news, but this time around, promotion and news items seem to have been few & far between.
It's almost like they've been so darn busy trying to complete all the building and cleaning, that they've forgotten to advertise it.

Boring......... why do all the boring sports only make it 2 the Olympics?
Turn dirtbikes, 4wd's rallycars, V8's into an Olympic sport then it would be worth watching
Time is never wasted when your wasted all the time

I am he, fear me
What the Hell is that absolute rubbish 'Synchronised Swimming' about and how on earth is it an Olympic class sport.
I mean, fair dinkum, even typing the words almost made me chuck.
Should be replaced by Abalone Diving or Croc Wrestling
My other pet hate at Olympic level are Golf and Tennis et al can have professional athletes and Boxing, Wrestling et al cannot.
Mainstream Sport professional competitors would rather win a Major Title than a Gold any day, the entry list names prove it.
But as long as we beat the Yanks in the Pool and Poms anywhere else I'm good with the concept
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

I was only talking about that this morning.
I thought the Olympics was for 'amateurs' (no disrespect, of course), not, 'professionals' (no disrespect of course)
