Can't wait for USA Men's Basketball to blow out every team by 50+
Looking forward to the Badminton events. In Men Single the top four seeds could very well win, but we might also have a tri-peat of a Lee Chong Wei vs Lin Dan final (Lin Dan won the Gold in Beijing and London).
You might think that if you didn't know it's one of the most physically demanding non-combat sport! Men's Double is more spectacular as it is way faster, but athleticism is on better display in Men's Single. London 2012's final:

please, men's 50k walk makes all other olympic sports looks like jokes when it comes to physical strain on the body. Most compete only 2 races a year because it takes months to recover and get back to the point where you can race again
There is no doubt competitive walking is extremely strenuous, but I would say it is unidimensionally demanding while other sports require a broad range of athletic abilities. Even something like decathlon which is very diverse in what it asks of the athletes is limited by the fact it's a sport where you act, but never react, giving the edge to complete sports with direct opposition.please, men's 50k walk makes all other olympic sports looks like jokes when it comes to physical strain on the body.
