Five-ring circus: The Thread of the XXXIII Olympiad

That was explained a page ago!

 

20 eerie photos that show what happened to Sarajevo's Olympic venues after the 1984 Games

 

Those are wild.

In the main photo it says "dismantled bobsleigh"

Is it bobsled or bobsleigh? I'm guessing maybe that's a US vs Euro thing?

 

How do the wrap up the tennis tourney in a week, but it takes two weeks to finish up the beach volleyball? Heck, the pro tour gets their events done in a weekend.

 

Networks want more bikini air time.

 

Obviously.

 

Phil Liggett - the voice of cycling - announced he was retiring from Olympics commentary yesterday.

 

Sleigh, generally bigger, pulled by animals, used for transportation (think Santa Claus).

Sled, used for recreation.

So yeah, maybe it should be called the Iditarod Sleigh Dog Race, but it isn't.

 

When reached for comment, Coco Gauff was inconsolable. "This always happens to Serena! It would happen to me if I ever went there! Why is Paris always so unfair?"

 

The Olympics have been using bobsleigh, though I only have noticed that fairly recently.

 

The Armstrong apologist was over the hill when I quit watching the sport a decade ago. Good riddance.

 

The more I hear Liggett and the gymnastics announcer, the more I miss Al Trautwig.
