2016 Olympic Games

Do you give a shit? Will you be watching? What are your favourite events beside the obvious (womens beach volleyball of course)?

Will any of the competitors die from disease or gunshot wounds? 

Should be interesting.

Don't give a toss. Won't be watching.

Concise and to the point. Good post.

I enjoy the athletics, especially the 100m, but most of the Olympics is utter crap that in any other situation no one would give a shite about.

I believe golf is included this year. Fucking golf!!

Sailing.

Ben Ainslie's my hero.

(Now, suddenly for some reason.)

I quite like the athletics. The 100m is a non contest though, you just know Usain Bolt is going to win it. The cycling (velodrome) is a decent watch as well.

Nope, couldn't give a toss with watching this shite.

Don't mind the torch racing.

I'll be watching it.

Can't say I'm enthused about the para-Olympics though.

Is that wrong of me?

Although Bolt is favourite, he's not as invincible as he has been in the past, I think it could be closer this time.

The field events are a bit dull. They could jazz it up by making the javelin event incorporate a giant dart board.
I'd watch that.

No it isn't wrong of you. It's shit.

Is no thread safe anymore?

Justin Gatlin and Yohann Blake might run him close but Bolt will still take it I think.

Surely we're now reaching the limit as to how fast a man or woman can run over 100m?

I reckon Bruce Forsyth could surpass it when he sees you walking towards him.

I doubt it.

Over generations people grow taller, have scientific diets and weight/power training, and even clothing and shoes and thus over time they will get quicker.

Maybe us old ones won't be seeing faster times in our lifetimes but I imagine our grandchildren will.

I agree there's still more to come,but there has to be a physical limit.

Otherwise we'll be time warping!

Ill be watching.  Love the track and field events.  Some of the random more obscure ones im not so fussed about.

I don't trust any of them to be drug free.
