Report: Rio Olympic Course Boosting The Environment

/

Dan Palmer at Inside The Games says documents released by the State of Rio de Janeiro Department of Justice indicate that the Olympic golf course is boosting the environment.

The course was long assumed to be a virtual toxic waste dump, but that was when the locals were envisioning a turf nursery and before they started testing the waters.

Documents released by the State of Rio de Janeiro Department of Justice reportedly say the course in Barra da Tijuca has "contributed to the growth of local vegetation" in the Marapendi area.

The document is in Portugese, so I'm still working on a translation.

In case you haven't been paying attention, there is something magical taking place with the Golden State Warriors run through the 2015-16 season, highlighted by Saturday night's epic overtime win against the Oklahoma City Thunder that left even the most jaded fans speechless. (The almost-half-court game winning jump shot is worth your time.)

Even more satisfying about the run is how likable the team is, with diverse interests and easy going demeanors coming through in various appearances as they peel off wins.

Just a few examples include Andrew Bogut joining Bill Simmons' podcast last week and Klay Thompson stopping by Morning Drive on Friday. And in a two-part interview, Steph Curry and teammate Andre Iguodala meet Gary Williams for a chat recorded Friday, so expect talk of their round at Augusta National and Curry's love for golf.
