Well, all good things must come to an end (Sunday). They should have the Summer and Winter Olympics every 2 years instead of 4 years. At least America isnā€™t free at Rio. America is the Olympics Champion this year with the most gold medals and the most overall medal count. The basketball team is gonna own this Sunday. Like watching the Golden State Warriorsā€¦
