    Yes, it was a problem but most of the players only made this an excuse because they don't wanna participate and play in their professional circuit (MOSTLY GOLF PLAYERS). The bigger problem is the Doping issue than the Zika Virus, anyways expecting some really great stuff especially in track & field.

    Here is a question: will Michael Phelps, at his age, be able to win a gold medal? I am thinking that he will, but he is pretty old compared to the other contestants...

    This is actually not the pool which is using for swimming events, it is for diving.

    Strictly speaking it's a different sport, I guess, but they're in a swimming pool so I think of them all as swimmers. I stand corrected.

    Yes, he is pretty amazing. I thought that he might win, but you never know. Interesting, on the U.S. relay team, he was only the third fastest swimmer on the team, but it was enough to earn the gold. So, I suspect that this will be his last Olympics.

    Bolt is almost certain to take another Gold in 200m after the ease he showed in the Semi-Final
