So excited about Rio Olympic commencing few days from now, I bought the highest subscription ever for my decoder after saving my allowance for a while now, wrote my seminar and project in record time, just to avoid any distractions. Borrowed VLC player from my friend, bought a few cassette in order to record some of my favorite events like synchronized swimming, diving, cycling and gymnastics. Banking on the Euphoria of our regular power supply this past months.

unfortunately, this morning I woke up to a sad story that touched my heart (oh gigbigbi oh): the men of the night have stolen our very expensive transformer cable. Just like that! Don't ask me me but Generator is not an option I have..
so just to console myself I decided to put up this for other people who are looking forward to this great event, just to wet your appetite a little bit more




The 2016 Olympics will kick off in Rio de Janeiro this week, with more than 10,000 athletes from 206 countries competing for medals during the Olympiad. As the the Games officially begin, here are key facts and figures about the first Olympics held in a South American country.

2. This year, there will be 33 different venues across four districts of Rio de Janeiro - Copacabana, Barra de Tijuca, Deodoro and Maracana.

3. This year's Games will be the first to include athletes born in the year 2000. Although the rules state all competitors must have been born before 1 January 2013, some sports have other age requirements for health and safety reasons.

5. The 2016 Olympic mascot is a mix of different animals called Vinicius , which pays tribute to the Brazilian musician Vinicius de Moraes.

6. Rio 2016 will be the third Games to be held in the southern hemisphere.

There are 28 sports and 306 events at the Rio Games.

The youngest athlete to compete at Rio 2016 is swimmer Gaurika Singh, who will represent Nepal. Singh, who lives in London, was in Kathmandu for the national championships when a huge earthquake devastated the region, killing an estimated 9,000 people

Ten refugees will compete in Rio in the first Refugee Olympic Team, which includes five middle-distance runners from South Sudan, two swimmers from Syria, two judokas from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and a marathon-runner from Ethiopia.

Rio 2016 marks the debut of rugby sevens. The 15-player version was included in the Games between 1900 and 1924.

The opening and closing ceremonies will be held in Rio's Maracanã Stadium, which boasts the world record for the most fans ever to attend a soccer game. Although its current capacity is around 78,000, the stadium squeezed in at least 173,000 fans during the 1950 World Cup final. Maracanã hosted the World Cup final again in 2014.

Around 10,500 athletes from 206 countries are expected to take part in 17 days of the Olympiad, competing across 306 events.

Around 85,000 soldiers and policemen will be deployed — the largest security force assembled at any event in Brazil's history and twice as large as the security presence for London 2012.

Rio's taxi drivers, or "taxistas," are being given the chance to sign up for free online English lessons provided by the Rio 2016 Organizing Committee. Drivers are often the first point of contact for fans, and those who take the four-month course will mostly likely be swapping "oi!" for "hi!

Team USA took 556 athletes to the London 2012 Olympics, second only to the hosts, and is again expected to bring more athletes than all the other visiting nations in Rio. Qualifications are ongoing so the exact number of places is still up for grabs. The U.S. topped the medal table in 2012 with 46 golds and 104 overall — though one was later taken away — and is hoping to better the tally in the summer.

Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen has reportedly accepted an invitation to host the upcoming opening ceremony. Brazilian newspaper Extra reported Gisele will return to her home country to do what she does best ‘walk’ through a 'futuristic gateway' to mark the start of the games at Rio’s Maracana Stadium on August 5. It was Vogue who picked up on this but the star herself has made no reference to it on social media.

It's her first new material for three years and Katy Perry’s song, 'Rise', has been used for NBC’s promotion and coverage of the Rio Olympics. In the video she belts out lines like 'I won't just survive/ Oh, you'll see me thrive' and 'Victory is in my veins/I know it, I know it,' over images of athletes training around the world. It's Perry through and through - a clear successor to 'Roar' and 'Firework', and does have good intentions of bringing the collective road to Rio to life.
