Thought I'd open up a thread to discuss the the 31st Olympic Games in Rio, which has it's opening ceremony today.
Let's here from you about your countries prospects, what sports you are interested in and all that stuff.
Being from the UK I think we have some really good prospects, we should hopefully clean up in Track Cycling (which I really like watching) and hopefully the road race. We do well in rowing so expect good things there. We might win the triathlon if the Brownlee brothers are both in form. A few athletics medals might come our way with Mo Farah and others.
The new sport added for this year is Golf. So some big name pros are there. (I am still not sure why Squash isn't an Olympic sport however.)
I'll try and post the updated Medals table in the OP when things start getting going and when I can. Google have a nice schedule thing here: https://goo.gl/jVtQEM
