Summer Olympics 2016 (Read 2,310 times)

I actually watched golf this afternoon. Bubba Watson is from here so I wanted to see how he did.

On a negative note, I'm so embarrassed at Hope Solo's sore loser behavior. I have not liked her since she was on Dancing with the Stars. She is very entitled and seems like a big jerk.

[Kpatch]

I haven't watched a minute of the Olympics yet. I just haven't been drawn to it.

[fluffysmom]

The events I like are almost over - gymnastics and swimming.

[André DiMera]

That was very cool, fluffysmom! If I had to pick a sixth country to root for, it would be them.

Same here. I don't even care about the events I like anymore.

A woman gymnast from Switzerland won bronze on the vault. She's the first Swiss gymnast to ever win an Olympic medal.

Simone Biles from the USA won gold on vault.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to watch much of the games today. Did see a bit of the volleyballtonight, which was fun.

I watched the 3000M steeplechase today on a job. Our American Hero (I can't remember his name) kicked the crap out of everybody and the American announcers were surprised he didn't fade!

[André DiMera]

Good stuff today! Glad to see USA is doing so well!

When are the closing ceremonies?

[André DiMera]

Tomorrow night, Kpatch. From what I can tell, they start at 6 p.m. Not sure if that's 6 p.m. Central or 6 p.m. Eastern, though. If it's Central, it'll be on by you at 7.

[André DiMera]

And now, it is time for my final medal count for my top five countries. I realize that I've skipped a few days. This time, I will not be going through the list of all medals, only the top amount of medals that each of my top five has.
