So how many of you are watching the Olympics in Rio?

let me start quoting that I did not like that much the opening ceremony, don’t get me wrong, it was a great ceremony, but it was below expectations after seeing that of London four years ago and four years before that the opening ceremony in Beijing.

The game started off with a flying start with the USA bringing home the first gold medal awarded in the Olympics, then we saw Australia and surprisingly Italy takes us over in the awarded medals, I truly did admire the Italians in the fencing events, they basically pick up nearly all the metals and from what I see they are doing exceptionally well also swimming.

It is said that the United States of America will have to compete against China for who will bring home the most medals possible, however my going through all the different sporting events I definitely see the United States in predictions way ahead of China, and because there are so many disqualified Russian athletes I truly believe that the US and China will pick up a lot more medals than predicted.

One event that I find very interesting is the women’s rugby, it’s amazing how women actually practice this sport giving and taking beatings all along, also women’s soccer should be full of surprises considering that the United States actually did succeed quite a bit against France and Germany managed to draw only at the last minute against Australia.

Unfortunately two tourists have already been killed and many other month and injured during these first days of the games, from what I understand from what I read on the New York Times, there are 27,000 law enforcement officers that are walking the streets of Rio de Janeiro doing everything they can to protect the friends that have reached the Brazilian capital for the games.

Go team USA!!
