Here’s a little something to get you ready for the Olympics as they fully begin: I previewed every sport. That’s as much of an intro as I can give, as there are already enough words below. I couldn’t go into too much detail on all of them, but I tried to give you an explanation of what’s going on, what’s new this year, a favorite to watch out for and/or something I just enjoy about watching the sport.
