2016 Olympics

Post by NiceAft »

The Admiral and I have been to three Summer Olympics, and would like to get to a fourth. About this time next year the info should start flowing from the one and only company that you go through in the U.S.

I just saw this story. It's an eye opener :o :(

Only double :!: :D

I am just amazed how Brazil was awarded both the World Cup, and the Olympics. Maybe the IOC thought that Rio would have a head start by building stadiums for the World Cup?

No matter what, we won't go to another sailing event at any Olympics. We went in 1976 to see the sailing for the Montreal Olympics, and all you could see were the boats sailing onto Lake Ontario, and then coming back. They were so far out that the Canadian Corvette guarding them looked like a speck.
