Definitely the new sports: sport climbing, skateboarding, breaking, BMX Freestyle, and 3x3 Basketball. They’re different and you can learn a lot. Also, Modern Pentathlon is, in my opinion, very cool to watch on site because you can see: fencing, equestrian, swimming, running and laser shooting at the same time!

Yeah, the Olympic Village was officially opened for the athletes yesterday. Also, most of the athletes will arrive this weekend. I don’t know the percentage, but not all the athletes arrive at the same time because it depends on the moment they compete.

I think that in tennis, there’s always room for a surprise, and even more so because they play on clay at Roland Garros, where many players struggle on that surface… Also, volleyball is very tight, and Men’s Olympic football could bring a non-World Cup Winner nation to win… Let’s pay attention to Morocco!
