The one bad thing about the Olympics is you get completely amped watching it, then you have to wait a whole four years for it to come around again. Wait – maybe that’s what makes it so awesome. Either way, we’ve got withdrawal symptoms of Olympic proportions right now.
When thinking of things that might help us overcome our new found and no longer satiable desire for sports like swashbuckling and horse dancing our attention turned towards Rio, the host of the next Olympics in 2016.
Watching these videos and getting to know the next host city really helped – now we’re more excited about the next Games than we are sad about the end of London’s.
