Hi All,
I am a huge Olympics fan. Love the athletes but hate the corruption. Needless to say I will engulf myself in Olypic coverage and will add articles and medal counts if anyone is interested.

GO TEAM USA!

Slower day, but this evening it should pick up. Added a bronze and silver today. Sadly, a local Coloradan Mara Abott missed out in road cycling finishing 4th. In the same race the cyclist from Germany had a super nasty accident.

Great evening last night. 4X400 relay Gold Men, Vollmer two medals, Ledecky rock star, and Women's Gymnastics crushed and I mean crushed the competition.

Last post. Appears no one is interested and so I can watch the games instead of typing messages. GO USA

When did the boxers stop wearing head gear?

I had to look it up. A few months ago the amateur boxing federation stated the gear doesn't prevent concussions or head trauma. The main reason they kept it in place was to avoid cuts and head butts.
