I'll probably watch a lot of the Olympic events, and this will be me:

If I have trouble sleeping, then I may tune into the golf or sailing. I'm sure I'll be out for the count after about 10 mins

Maria "This pregnancy will allow Vika to do 2 of her favourite things, eating and pretending to be in pain."

They weren't travelling with other sports but trying to get from Canada to Rio.

Via Portugal? Was that to learn some of the lingo before they arrived?

I love Holly's 'alternative translation' vids and shady compilations.

It all seemed a bit bizarre.

A lot of the players that got of out Montreal and into the US were on the very last seats from NYC, Houston, Newark, Miami etc going to Rio. Hence why Aga had to take such a ridiculous route.

Garbine is lucky she dodged Montreal and had more leeway to book her travel. She hasn't even left for Rio yet unlike the rest of the Spanish players.

I like the Team USA rooms, they've got their names printed into the mirrors.

Surely more planes fly to Rio from NY and other cities everyday? And like others have said they can easily afford to hire a private jet.

They'd have been better off getting flights to Sao Paulo and then from SP to Rio. According to Vesnina a private jet would've cost $250,000 plus they would've needed permission to land or something. If they hadn't have all split off on their own Wacky Races, the 10 or more players could've clubbed together in Montreal and split the cost.

Indeed. I'm sure the IOC would be able to get permission easily and then get the IOC to pay for it. They can afford it with all the backhanders they've been getting.

Thought so. It was between him and Nicola Adams after Wiggins said no.

I am pleased. Just realised tennis doesn't start until later next week. He loves getting involved with all sports.

It starts on Saturday, but presumably he's been given the nod that they won't schedule him on Saturday morning.

I must have misread it. I thought it was odd.

Well deserved, he is the defending champion, and reigning Wimbledon champion

Murray seeded 2nd in the singles.
Murray brothers seeded 2nd in men's doubles
Johanna Konta seeded 10th in women's singles... Now she is the sort of player who could beat Serena

That's great news! It's such an honour, both him and Rafa get to do it in the same year. Novak and Roger have already done it. Does anyone remember the terrible outfit Roger had to wear?

Stan got a cool grey suit when he did it.

I think Woz is doing it this year as well.

Stefan Edberg led Sweden in in the 92 Olympics, I think Goran carried the flag for Croatia those games too

Am I being ignored here

The tennis starts at a decent time (2:45pm - 3:00am) so I should be able to watch a good amount of it.
