Lol
I watch the Olympics . Some I don't like much but in some others I am very interested and I watch them fanatically . Luckily I can watch a game even after a week after it is finished , so that helps me not to lose anything at all . Great games so . far . Congratulations to the winners . USA unsurprisingly is first in total number of medals .

They are always giving the best games and all the competitors are always showing an excellent level, some things to correct, but in general they are doing a good job, there is a lot of sport to see and we always get hooked on one.

I wouldn't be able to comment on the performances of many athletes because i can't follow too many events, but there are athletes who have worked hard to achieve performances.

This is a fact that not only happens in that country but throughout the world, Paris is 6 hours ahead of the Eastern Time Zone of the United States, which means that most important events will occur in the morning and evening. late for American viewers.

the Americans stole a bronze medal from Romania, following an appeal by the Americans, the referees withdrew the medal won by the Romanian. Someone said they stole two, with another silver one, but i haven't read about it yet , to see confirmation.

The opening ceremony was not good . I didn't like it at all . I couldn't even complete watching it . I read it was the first to be organised outdoors , not in a stadium . I prefer in a stadium like all others do all these years .
And there were some problems with the statistics service at the begining at least , many mistakes they were doing . Wrong scores , wrong statistics . I think now they fixed these problems .

I didn't know that the sport with the most medals awarded is aquatics, with 49 events in the disciplines of swimming, marathon, diving, water polo and artistic swimming. many games to see and enjoy, many medals to distribute in these Olympic games.
