A little sadistic for my taste. Actually, a lot sadistic.

I saw some of the ladies beach volleyball. USA vs SUI
I think I should watch more.
Those ladies are really in shape.
Would have been better if the SUI team didn't wear the long yoga pants and shirts.
I couldn't tell if they were as "in shape" as the USA ladies.

Here's a gymnast to root for; no teeny bopper she:
http://www.today.com/health/no-pain-no- ... ns-t101661'No pain, no problems': 41-year-old gymnast among Olympians defying age in Rio
Like all of her fellow Olympic female gymnasts competing in Rio, Oksana Chusovitina is tiny, impossibly agile and explosively fast.
What makes people do a double-take is her age.
At 41, Chusovitina is the oldest Olympic female gymnast in history, competing in her seventh Summer Games. The 5-foot tall, 94-pound dynamo is representing Uzbekistan and will be vying for a medal in the vault final this Sunday.
She's not the only Olympian getting attention for her age in Rio. At 31, Michael Phelps is oldest swimmer to win an individual gold medal in Olympic history after his triumph on Tuesday night. At 35, Anthony Ervin is the second-oldest U.S. Olympic men's swimmer since 1904.
U.S. cyclist Kristin Armstrong, who turned 43 on Thursday, won her third consecutive gold medal in women's time trial on Wednesday.She's the oldest female cycling medalist of all time.

Dah! Oksana Chusovitina is good example of fine, sturdy, Russian woman. Do well plowing field and making meal for hard worker husband.

Nyetski! Is too small to pull tractor out of mud or carry cow to veterinarian-ski . Not good wife for farm. Only good for party apparatchick or railroad cheka.

Pigs. 
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Pig is possible choice for replacement of useless partner. No work? бекон!
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

The Brits are really having an outstanding Olympics:
http://www.espn.co.uk/olympics/story/_/ ... o-olympicsSunday gold rush leads Team GB to historic heights at Rio Olympics
RIO DE JANEIRO -- Forget Super Saturday, this is now we've-run-out-of-superlatives Sunday.
Fresh off the back of three gold medals on Saturday, the most remarkable cross-sport performance from Great Britain saw them soar to second in the medal table. The British bulldog spirit relegated China to third with only the U.S. ahead of them.
Fans didn't dare breathe, let alone turn away from the Olympics action as those in blue, red and white stuck their flag into the heart of the Games with a run of six golds, beginning with Max Whitlock making history and ending with Andy Murray making history, with Justin Rose making history in between for good measure.
It was a day that heralded in the new guard, both in a sporting and individualistic sense, across a remarkable range of sports.
The focus traditionally switches to the track and field in the second week, but at the halfway mark in these Games, Great Britain are looking to exceed their medal target of 48, with 38 -- excluding Giles Scott's pending gold in sailing, which will be confirmed on Tuesday -- already guaranteed. That tally surpasses the 37 medal haul at the end of the corresponding day at London 2012 and the 25 in Beijing.
