OT: Odds for crazy sh!t Olympics thread

I'll tell you one thing Rio De Janeiro seems like the worst place in the world to host an Olympics.
We need to find a link that lists all the athletes from the University of Texas on the Olympic team.

That already happened. Only, it was kidnapped and robbed.
Holy sh!t balls! I did not know that. Seriously, we need to put a pool together-- 5 bucks a piece- what event takes place first at the Olympics. MM can be in charge of the PayPal account. Everybody pony up 5 bucks and make a prediction as to what criminal or disease event happens first that causes an athlete to be unable to compete.
It's 5 bucks. Who's in?
Apparently some fans got mugged and went to a police station to report it and the line was over 2 hours long for reporting something and most of the people in there were reporting the same. French security is recommending tourist keep the equivalent of $10-15 available to muggers to avoid physical harm. Oh and this

This is such a sketchy place. Their crap facilities are STILL being worked on a week out.
They fired a security firm for hiring less than 1/10 of the required personel (something like 300 out of 3,600 required?)
Apparently their police and fire departments only get paid on leap years?
If some form of catastrophe DOESN'T occur I'll be amazed.
I'm not even talking terrorist attacks. I am half expecting a sinkhole to open up during the relays and deposit the entire team from Angola into the Earth's mantle.
I can't remember the last time I was this unsure about the games' safety.

I'm waiting for the phrase "Zika Olympics" to catch on. Can we sell shirts with that?
Why not just hold water sports on the Ganges, I wonder?

The Ganges is Barton Springs compared to that place. I was Brazil a few years back-- Manaus-- in the heart of the Amazon, to go peacock bass fishing.
Hottest place on earth. Hotter than the middle east and Africa put together. Granted the temperature never gets much above 110, but the humidity is at 99.9 every day. It's just brutal.
Rio on the other hand has a nice breeze blowing. But it smells like rotten a$$holes bundled in catfish bait. I walked through a Favela and gagged twice at the smell. People LIVE in those places. Almost makes you sick to your stomach.
This could be an epic sh!t show. Fully expect the media to hide anything that puts a bad light on the IOC or brazil.

All together there are 25 athletes with ties to the University of Texas at these Olympics. Dyk that's more than some countries?
