Olympics

Some of my thoughts on Rio Olympics

Heartwarming - Brazil finally gets its Olympic gold in soccer, beating
World Cup nemesis. Germany
Disheartening - Heavily favored US women's soccer team loses to Sweden
Some top performers - Bolt, Biles, Eaton, Phelps
Exciting finish - Britain's  Women's field hockey team upsets Netherlands in thrilling shoot out.
Most graceful event - Dressage
Most predictable - US mens and womens basketball prevail
Surpising high performing country - Great Brittain
Surpringly exciting to watch - sailing
Unneeded sport - Golf
Worst event - The "robbery"
