As I am sure that you are all aware, the 2016 summer Olympics are currently being held in Rio de Janeiro from August 5 to August 21. The Olympics are celebrating and showcasing sports and showing the love and dedication that determined record-breaking athletes have for their specific craft. The events include and are not only limited to badminton, boxing, weight lifting, diving, synchronized swimming, volleyball, gymnastics, archery and even judo.

The competition venues in Rio are separated into four different zones such as Barra, Copacabana, Deodoro and Maracanã – and are connected by a high-performance transport ring which allows athletes to arrive to their venues in less than 10 minutes tops, with almost 75 percent of athletes being able to arrive in under 25 minutes. It's a pretty impressive set up, if you ask me!

The Olympics also have a legacy to leave, by helping provide educational opportunities to the children of the host country, creating transparency between collaborators and sponsors of the Games, promoting the diversity of Brazilian culture – in a correct manner with various events that take place in the streets, parks, squares and beaches of the host city – and promoting sustainability by being both environmentally and socially responsible.

I am literally the most non-athletic person that you may ever come across in your lifetime, but even I find myself watching various events such as swimming, gymnastics and weightlifting, and actually enjoying them and appreciating the dedication that athletes have for their sport. It is beyond impressive and makes me wish that I had even a tiny bit of their talent that they posses for their sport. There is an event for everyone to get into and enjoy with the wide variety of competition choices. It's not too late to get into the spirit and check it out!
