Share this: The buildup to the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janiero couldn’t be going any better (sarcasm alert). If the political unrest in Brazil, Zika virus, major safety concerns and toxic water wasn’t enough, add a less than ideal Olympic village to the list of problems. But the United States men’s and women’s basketball teams won’t have to worry about the exposed wired and blocked toilets in the village, as they will stay aboard “The Silver Cloud” luxury cruise ship in Rio’s Maua port terminal instead. (Just stay out of the water and avoid banana boats, please.) Other athletes won’t be as lucky, though, as Dallas Mavericks center and Team Australia member Andrew Bogut pointed out on Twitter on Tuesday. relaxar meus amigos brasileiros. ele estava tirando

Updated: Sunday, 19 May 2013 20:23 | Comments Mayo easily accounted for Galway in Salthill The winning margin was 17 points Audio Three first-half goals from Cathal Carolan, Enda Varley and Donal Vaughan eased Mayo past 13-man Galway and into the Connacht football semi-final, 4-16 to 0-11.
