The Olympics? Yawn! We get virtually no coverage on american tv anyway. Its just a big jolly look-at-me time for the sports talking-heads to prattle on endlessly about sports that they cant play since none of them are athletes themselves. Buncha nerdsWe need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

I'd like to see an olympics where all drugs are allowed.
Just how fast can a human run with the right mixture of chemicals flowing through them?
How high can they jump?

Going a step farther, separate them out and have two events. I'd like to see the ratings difference between the "enhanced" games and the "clean" games.Solomwi is very wise. - Imran Siddiqui

94 votes seems to indicate that not all the countries in the world are represented.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.â€

Damn. I missed out on an opportunity to make some money from this.
I was planning on taking vacation from work to train and work security at the games if they had been in Chicago.
Damn, damn, damn!!Founder of The Glory of War, CHAMPIONS OF APOLYTON!!!

Tokyo: World Cup (of football) there a few years ago
Madrid: The 2012 Games are in London, so it's impossible that they'd have two consecutive games in the same continent
Chicago: World Cup there in 1994, Olympics in LA 1984
Rio: World Cup in 1950 (!), no Olympics in the continent ever.
I just wish I'd put a bet on Rio.
