I'm so looking forward to the Olympics in Brazil (2016) [View all]

This morning I watched the Olympics and the events were all live including the Gold Medal finals for Men's Tennis. It was wonderful to know that the event was fresh, it was happening as I saw it on TV and nowhere was there a spoiler (which btw I won't post any spoilers here either)

The only time you can really watch live events with this Olympics is during the afternoon but since I'm a 9-5er only the weekends I can watch any afternoon events.

I realize that the Olympics should be shared around the globe but when it's countries that are several hours ahead of us to half a day like Beijing, there's a bit of thrill lost knowing that you know the outcome.

Rio is only an hour ahead of us so you know there will be plenty of live events telecast! I can't wait!
