George to visit Rio Olympics 27.6.16

Piece in Brazilian paper that suggests this to do with Nespresso. But have a hunch it might be something to do with refugee team taking part, in which he has taken more than a passing interest.

Sorry, unable to post piece

I don't know if this is the article you saw PA-N, but I saw this one.

Also they are expected in Rio lands the actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Eddie Redmayne.

He needs to be very careful. I remember when he came back from South Sudan and did an interview with Piers Morgan. He said he contracted malaria there because mosquitoes love him. Hopefully the ones in Rio won't love him as much. It would be awful if he came home with the zika virus.

Right Lizzy. He has contracted malaria a couple of times. He should be very careful ... as everyone who will participating and attending the games should be! Scary.

At least he won't have to worry about passing it on to an unborn child.

you sure about that????????????????????? (wink wink)

PP - WTF????? (I don't get it. Having a dumb day! )

just starting mischief...ie:  is little Georgie in the makings????  ( is she pregnant)

just me being really naughty!!

Gotcha!

Ther Gerbers will be there too......

Well, Omega is the official timekeeper for the Olympics, so Cindy could be collecting a paycheck for appearing.  George would get a double paycheck, one from Omega and one from Nespresso.

If this were the old days with younger George, I'd be more worried about Rio than about him. 

Ah, but those days are gone...

Omega, Nespresso...............and possibly a Brazil Casamigos deal.........

PAN - I wouldn't be surprised. I wonder if Amal and Cindy and Rande's kids are going along?

It seems really risky to me. They just announced on the news that there are over 1,000 cases of zika virus in the US and it is on its way to becoming one of the fastest spreading STDs. I'd really think twice about exposing anyone who might have a pregnancy in their future. I hope they bring tons of mosquito repellent and they all stay safe.

...........no, he's not........

........we could surmise why not, but we know at least two possible reasons already......

Hi Everyone,

Just a note on the margin. I havent seen them (Cindy/Rande, George/Amal ) together for a long time. Coincidence? I mean G and R r not just businesspartners but they're friends too... Sorry being off.
IMO its quite dangerous visiting Rio for the Olympics.

Well, assuming the translation is that he cancelled, I can certainly understand that.

But what are the two reasons we 'know' already?

I've always wondered why there is no contingent of Olympic athletes on the site selection committee. The athletes should be able to vote for their own reps and have a say in where the Olympics are held. They're the ones most at risk.

How such an economically precarious country out-bribed the other contenders is beyond me, but Rio was a poor choice even before Zika.

Totallt agree.

Checked out word 'desiste' in translation, Way2

Ans possibly two bouts of malaria is enough..........and any possibility of a pregnancy, tho I'm not convinced that's on the wishlist. But what do I know?
