Same here, there has been so much negativity around it it's tainted it a bit.

Will watch the gymnastics, swimming and athletics though

Chatting about the different countries on here was fun for the London 2012 opening ceremony.

They've got some model, Giselle?, for the opening ceremony.

I don't think it's that different to previous Olympics'. Last year had exceptional build up because it was here.

This one has the Russian doping issues and the Zika virus as the stories. Others usually have deaths building the stadia or clearing slums and leaving people homeless. Then the sport starts and we concentrate on the medals.

I understand the sentiment but the IOC is not the athletes or the people who have worked hard to create the opening ceremony or the games.

We have fewer people living in the gutter though.

Nothing is going to top London for me as it was very personal, as well as having friends performing in the opening ceremony.

I just like seeing what others do and seeing the teams and their outfits.

Erm.... London isn't tiny compared to Rio is it? It's bigger in population at any rate. I agree it was a better shown though (although Sydney was best of the lot)

When introducing yourself to a member of the opposite sex in Brazil, it is considered polite to remove your hat, shirt and trousers.

Traditionally, this gesture is followed by a warm embrace - firm but light - and a tender kiss on either the cheek, the lips, the neck, and finally, continuing in a straight line down the chest to the genitalia.

The remainder of the greeting varies from person to person but usually grows increasingly complex and can last anywhere up to 3 hrs.

When parting, it's customary to leave a note.

Very true..I remember the run up to 2012 & one of the programmes was about "What happens after?" & Athens & Being were just instantly mothballed & not used again & our stadium is going to a football team some four years later.

Bad joke really, All the countries should put in a pot and build the best of everything in one perfect location & just have it there every four years...bollox to keep building new stadiums, use what you have or don't host them..simples..
