* Women's Beach Volleyball is my favorite, followed by women's indoor volleyball and swimming. It's probably not a coincidence that these were the sports I played :)
* It is highly unlikely that my girls are going to be gymnasts based on the 5 foot average height of the USA team
* Table Tennis is impressive to watch
* The USA awards athletes a bonus if they win a medal, $25k for gold. However, for most athletes it is difficult to make a living without having a secondary job.
* How did the Williams sisters get knocked out of the tennis competition so early??
* I'm glad I got to visit Rio before the Olympics (and Zika)
* Why does Puerto Rico need it's own team? Shouldn't they compete as part of the US team?
* Swimmers have taught us about "cupping" therapy from the telltale red circles on their bodies. However does cupping actually work to reduce pain and increase blood flow to the target area? That answer has yet to be determined...
