Is it just me or has there been very little buzz about it this year? If it wasn't for the Zika virus, I wouldn't even be aware that it was on.

Excited for all of it.
![]() Not so excited about all the late nights it's going to involve though! The opening ceremony starts about midnight and will most likely overrun beyond 4am. |

Can't wait for the parade of nations!
Aside from Team GB, particularly looking forward to seeing Sweden (well duh), Syria and the Independent Refugee Athletes team march... I love a weepy flag display. |

Can't wait.
I do like a bit of pageantry and culture.

Loving the male gymnastics and swimming

I did see one tweet from a young boy (to be fair, he was very young!) saying he hoped he'd make a recovery so he could compete next week
