I know I sound like a real killjoy, but how long is left on the Olympic Games?!

On at least three separate occasions, I have had people ask me about the Olympic standings, and how they determine how to rank the countries in the medal count standings. Is it the total number of gold medals won that determines...

The moment we've been waiting for arrives tonight! The 2016 Summer Olympics will officially kick off with the opening ceremony tonight, which is essentially nothing more than a parade of athletes. Are any of you planning on...

The Olympics are coming up in August, and despite the crime, filthiness, and other dangers Rio poses, the athletes seem very excited. Trying to think about something positive, does your country or state have an athlete they are...

Rio has been fragile since last summer. We have been taking extra care of her, but she took a turn for the worse yesterday. I really wasn't sure she'd make it through the night, but she was still with us, barely.
