Wish France well with the hosting. Apparently they have cleaned up the Seine.

Paris will need to put on a good show to regain enthusiasm for the event. Marginal sports has pretty much made the Olympics a non event for me personally. Say no to snowboarding. Now they want flag football.

That said Canada spends a lot of money on the Olympics. Most of it on the administrative bureaucracy.

Agreed. The Olympics would benefit from cutting down on the number of events and eliminating most team sports and sports with healthy professional and/or international leagues.

Hard to believe Canada is sending Andre De Grassi to his 4th Olympic games. That's a lot of sucking on the national teat.

Nobody faster or nobody cares. More of a colossal waste of money on an incredible superficiality that has nothing to do with National pride.
