Russia is banned from Rio.

Only in athletics. Other sports are judged on a case-by-case basis.

Personally, I love watching the Olympics, it gives more niche/less popular sports attention, like swimming (the best sport) and diving and everything else. I'm watching beach volleyball right now, go USA.


I'm a huge fan of swimming and diving because of the hot men in speedos.

However, on the national front, I support Team GB first and Team USA second. I'm probably just tired of seeing the U.S. team finish on top of the medal totals every single Games.

Did you see Tom Daley diving like two days ago? It was pretty cool, he placed third with his diving partner Goodfellow.

No??? Only the Paralympics as a whole is banned I think. The other athletes are allowed.

Oh, I meant Russia is banned from Rio de Janeiro, but that's not the case, so I correct myself.

I woulda thought Russia and Germany were dominant in medals.

Russia used to do a lot better, but I feel like they haven't been doing as well this year. Could have to do with the doping thing. Germany is doing well, but not as good as the US, or Japan or China. As of now, the US is in the lead for gold medals and all around medals.

Don't they usually do well in both the sprinting events and the marathon-type events?
