  1. This is amazing on multiple levels.

  2. Little bit of rain won't put these athletes off the huge snaking McDonald's line. True Olympians

  3. Debating the rowdy crowds at with lots of local people on the BBC World Service in about 10 minutes

  4. Some of the really expensive hotels have installed their open security scanners. Some U.S athletes staying here

  5. Every roof top on Copacabana right now

  6. Brazilians always warn, dont resist the muggers. Guess that applies to Judo medalists.

  7. Yeah, I'm holding an Olympic Gold Medal. No big deal.

  8. NBC would try to hold back the tide for prime time

  9. End of the gymnastics, even the stadium announcer said: "The gold medal wasn't much of a surprise, let's be honest."

  10. Michael Johnson let's rip at Olympic bosses who pay 'lip-service' to stamping out drug cheats

  11. If you were a young swimmer and saw Fina's officials attack McLaren, laud Putin, defend Efimova, and hug Sun Yang, WTF would you think?

  12. Rio2016, that bastion of transparency and freedom, is to appeal ruling allowing free speech at Olympics arenas.

  13. Asked Michael Johnson if Usain Bolt is a better athlete than he was: "Absolutely not! No — He comes close..."

  14. Main message of LA 2024 bid, repeated over and over again: "We're risk free." What they're not saying out loud: Nothing like

  15. Garcetti introduced by LA 2024 as "an Olympic bid mayor out of Central Casting" -- not sure what that means

  16. There's always another glutton for punishment. Los Angeles 2024 bid is here to say "Follow the Sun."

  17. Times has five (5!) Dan Goodfellow pics on back 3 pages. Average of 1.66 GPPs (Goodfellows Per Page). Unparalleled.

  18. So weird to celebrate that they let the world's most expensive player leave their academy. £100m cock up.
