By David Rieder<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been less than 36 hours since Brent Rutemiller<\/strong> and I landed in Rio, but we\u2019ve already had the roundabout walking tour of Barra Olympic Park, our first look at the not-air-conditioned Olympic Aquatic Center, a thorough introduction to the Main Press Center (MPC) and three roundabout taxi rides while trying to figure out what venues are right in front of us and handle with the very-real language barrier.<\/p>\n

Without even attending a single session of actual athletic competition yet, this fact is already abundantly clear: the Olympics are big.<\/p>\n

Barra Olympic Park houses many of the Games\u2019 marquee sports, including gymnastics, basketball, tennis, handball and all aquatic sports except open water. Not track and field\u2014that\u2019s at Olympic Stadium, which we\u2019ve passed on the highway headed to Barra\u2014or the Opening and Closing Cermonies\u2014which take place at Est\u00e1dio do Maraca\u00f1a, much closer to downtown.<\/p>\n

Rio\u2019s famed Copacabana beach will host the open water swimming during the second week of the Games as well as beach volleyball competition in a temporary stadium. Brent and I got a great introduction to Copacabana Thursday\u2014if only by accident.<\/p>\n

A media bus runs straight from downtown\u2014a five-minute walk from where we\u2019re staying\u2014to Barra and the MPC, from where there is easy access to all the venues on site. The buses leave every 30 or 60 minutes, depending on the time of day, but Brent and I didn\u2019t know that when we made our first trip to Barra.<\/p>\n

And so we ended up in a taxi. The driver did not speak English, and he took the scenic route along the coast. After a few wrong turns and almost 90 minutes in the car, we were where we needed to be.<\/p>\n

Note that at this point it was completely dark outside. Sunset is around 5:30 p.m., or about three hours earlier than I\u2019ve become accustomed to during the summer. The weather may not be very cold here\u2014it was in the 80s today, and both Brent and I wore shorts\u2014but it\u2019s still winter, nonetheless.<\/p>\n

Next was security. As you might imagine at an Olympic Games, it\u2019s a big deal. While the lines do not reach TSA-length, there\u2019s still some waiting, some removing items from pockets to put items through the X-ray machine and the standard medal detector.<\/p>\n

After spending 10 hours on a plane and traveling more than 4000 miles from home, it\u2019s rare to casually run into familiar faces. But this is the Olympic Games. Within a half hour of arriving at the Olympic Park, I ran across two reporters I met at Trials (ESPN\u2019s Wayne Drehs<\/strong> and the Associated Press\u2019 Beth Harris<\/strong>). Brent came all the way from Phoenix to run into Jeff Metcalf<\/strong> from the Arizona Republic.<\/p>\n

A trip to the Olympic Aquatic Center? That would have to wait until today. After making that trek, we passed the media entrance, and the pool was nearly empty\u2014so we walked out on deck. Yes, I took pictures.<\/p>\n

We checked out the mixed zone and the upstairs seating, and then said hi to NBC announcers Dan Hicks and Rowdy Gaines. Then we found some Olympic rings. Yes, this is very clich\u00e9, but so what? It\u2019s the Olympics!<\/p>\n

Tomorrow morning, the real fun begins with preliminary action in the men\u2019s 400 IM, women\u2019s 100 fly, men\u2019s 400 free, women\u2019s 400 IM, men\u2019s 100 breast and women\u2019s 400 free relay, beginning at 1 p.m. local time\u2014in other words, a few hours before sunset.<\/p>\n

When Brent decided what day we would arrive, the hope was that we would figure out anything we\u2019d need to know before we needed to know. So what did we learn?<\/p>\n

First, the cellphone service. International plans don\u2019t come cheap, and we\u2019re dependent on wifi to stay connected to the buzz of the sport when we\u2019re away from the computer screen. Thankfully, the media buses have wifi. Speaking of which\u2026<\/p>\n

The buses are awesome. Unlike most taxi drivers, the bus drivers know the routes\u2014or at least the one route we take\u2014and get you where you need to go quick. It\u2019s not quite U.S. Olympic Trials, where we walked five minutes from the hotel to the pool, but it\u2019s efficient.<\/p>\n

And then there are the tickets for swimming. Yes, the media need tickets for swimming finals. Limited media seating means that credentials don\u2019t necessarily guarantee access to venues. In addition to the eight nights of swimming finals, other ticketed events include the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, beach volleyball semifinals and finals, selected men\u2019s basketball games and the women\u2019s team and all-around finals in gymnastics.<\/p>\n

But thankfully, both Brent and I have tickets in hand for the first two nights of swimming\u2014and are optimistic that collecting them for the other six nights won\u2019t be an issue.<\/p>\n

So yes, we\u2019ve been busy. But let\u2019s be honest: this is awesome. The Olympic Games are unlike any other event in the world and certainly unlike any other swim meet I\u2019ve covered. We haven\u2019t seen any athletes yet, but there are media from all over the world, speaking every language imaginable, crowding the massive MPC.<\/p>\n

And then tomorrow morning begins the swim meet, with plenty of the same athletes I\u2019ve had the privilege of getting to know over the past several years, both American and foreign. Some things will be different\u2014there will no video interviews in the mixed zone, for one, but I can live with more time spent writing stories instead.<\/p>\n

I get to watch the best swimmers in the world compete in the biggest meet of their lives and then write about it. Yeah, I think I might enjoy this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
