This has been the most enjoyable Olympics for me since Vancouver
Fantastic events and drama, the venue, rio has looked absolutely gorgeous, and just the overall coverage has been great. The time difference doesn't hurt either
Well done Rio.

Choose your sport, choose the event for that sport, then you can pick through qualifications/quarters/semi/finals, and then somewhere above the atheletes heads there will be a blue version of the YouTube logo that will take you to the videos. Theres also the same button for specific matches below the same pictures.
Only con, if you care about spoilers, is you see the medal winners before you can click to watch the event.

Looks like the 16 year old will carry our flag at the closing ceremonies.

How does it work for De Grasse? I heard Puma signed a 11m deal with him, yet he wears Nike?

Nike is Athletics Canada's sponsor, and De Grasse is running for Canada.
Same deal with Michael Phelps wearing Nike for these games when he is signed to Under Armor.

Tokyo has the potential to be an absolute shit show transportation and accommodation wise. wonder if a lot of companies will shut down, otherwise the transportation will be fucked.
people are going to have to rent places in saitama, ibaraki etc and take trains in lol

that's true. but they have some big issues too. people have to eat food grown in dirt affected by the nuclear disaster(it may be grown in fukushima, but if its shipped and sold to a company in a different area, its labelled as safe), people wont get mugged in streets but tourists will be drugged and have their cc's maxed at bars in roppongi etc, deal with some of the worst racism and sexism at an Olympic venue in a long time.
japan has a lot of problems for a first world country. imo brazil did pretty good considering its situation
at the same time they'll prob push some technology farther like they did for 1964 with satellites, and computer statistics

The Tokyo Olympics will be fantastic and I have no doubt it will be one of the better summer Olympics in recent memory.
