It's not getting much news coverage in Canada. It doesn't seem like there's as much enthusiasm as in past Olympics, and there aren't any standout athletes from Canada that anyone is cheering on for this Olympics. It's too bad.
Would like to see this go better than expected for Brazil.... but the expense hardly makes it seem worth it. The Olympics needs to scale back after this, so that they aren't bankrupting host countries.
Oh yeah? I find I am hearing about them quite a bit. Maybe it's because the radio and TV I tend to watch the most are the official broadcasters.
Score of the first two women's football matches in the 2016 Olympics:
Sweden 1–0 South Africa
Canada 2–0 Australia
The games have officially begun.
Go Canada.... ! I would love to be watching the soccer games! Literally my fav event. The opening ceremonies starting soon (I want be watching it until repeat airing at 10:30 pm Canadian time... but looking forward to it !

I have been hearing something of the news or reading something in the paper about the Olympic every day in Toronto over the last month. In Canada most of the events will be on CBC.

NBC is the official broadcasting network in the US. It will delay the opening ceremony anywhere from 1 to 4 hours depending on location, just so they can get it into primetime. Of course some idiots at NBC will decide what we should see, they call it "curating".
Looking forward to the Olympics, but sadly I am stuck with NBC, the most biased and ridiculous network covering such events. Far to much advertising and forgettable interviews of athletes such as "close up and personal". I love all sports, but the dimwits at NBC have always spoiled my viewing pleasure.

I just watched one hour of an opening mass confusion.
I hope Rio, Brazil pull off a successful games but I'm pessimistic about that happening....hope I'm wrong.
