As you know, there are… a lot of countries. I did not get them all. Not even close. There were more than 10,000 pictures to go through, so this is just a representative sample. If I missed one of your favorites… well, that’s probably very likely, and please add links in the comments! And a bonus HOORAY to all these athletes in very small delegations. What an extra thrill. I was, however, a little relieved Simone Biles didn’t make herself stand out in the rain for four hours on a boat that might twig vertigo — whenever I get off a boat, I feel for a while like I’m still on it. We CANNOT monkey with her equilibrium right now! To be real, maybe that wasn’t a great idea for MOST of these people? And I heard the basketball teams have the flu going around right now?!?!? Well, what can you do.
