Canada starts with a bang.

Canada's women's soccer team was busted for have a Soccer Canada official spy on the New Zealand team's practises.

Canada beat NZ today, 2-1

Canada's Olympic Committee has suspended the women's coach for the mutation of the games.

No word of Robert Kraft is offering them jobs.

Yeah, something tells me these games are going to suck.

And we're off to an auspicious start.

Just generally Don. I suppose we'll win our share of medals, but I'm not into it.

Just France, the politics, the embarrassing uniforms, the IOC...

But, but, but... it's the first gender-equal Olympics in history!

I'll watch the men's and women's 20 km race walk, I cannot miss that.

There will be no Olympic 50 km men's walk this year for the first time, sadly. It's an outrage :twisted:

RIP 50 km :(
