The Rio Olympics passed the halfway stage on the weekend and already Wholesale Oakland Athletics Jersey , the games are taking on a dual nature. The on-field sporting action has been exciting while off the field, there has been a number of disappointments and shocks, and not in a good way.


Coming into the start of these games, it was not a mystery that preparations in Rio had not been superb.


The athletes village was still being completed days before the Olympics began, police had gone on strike at one point Wholesale New York Yankees Jersey , and water in which sailing and other marine events would be held was still heavily polluted.


But the Games began and everything started to go smoothly.


Well, not exactly. There were the shots fired into the equestrian venue, the Belgian judoka robbed on a beach the night after winning a bronze medal, and the bizarre case of the diving and water polo pools turning green and conflicting explanations being given while authorities tried to resolve the problems.


Then, on Sunday Wholesale New York Mets Jersey , US swimming star Ryan Lochte and a teammate were reported to have been held up at gunpoint while in a cab.


Add in the sparse crowds at many of the events, this could arguably be said to be one of the rockiest Olympics in recent history.


Luckily, the actual sporting events have provided a lot of thrills. The inaugural rugby sevens event was as exciting as expected, culminating in Fiji crushing the Great Britain to win their country's first gold medal, which was also their first ever medal.


US swimming phenom Michael Phelps won six more medals to put his overall tally at an unbelievable 28.


As great as Phelps is Wholesale Minnesota Twins Jersey , he was beaten by Singaporean Joseph Schooling in the 100 meter butterfly, resulting in Singapore's first ever gold medal.


The US men's basketball team, flush with NBA stars, has won all their games as expected, but were taken to the brink by unfancied Australia Wholesale Milwaukee Brewers Jersey , Serbia and France.


Track and field has been top class as usual, with Usain Bolt winning the 100m yet again and rising South African Wayde van Niekerk busting the world record in the 400m final.


The blame for the off-field troubles cannot just be put on the local organizers, though they have been strikingly inept in some ways.


The IOC deserves to be criticized for several missteps such as not providing more financial and organizational support to Rio when the preparations were seriously behind and local political and economic problems would become major obstacles.


Of course, the ones most affected are the local citizens, who as some have pointed out Wholesale Miami Marlins Jersey , deal with the problems everyday whereas the Olympics are only for 17 days.
