If you're anything like me, you're already looking forward to this weekend's Olympic action, especially those events involving local competitors such as Birchfield Harrier Matthew Hudson-Smith who is due to run in the men's 4x400m team relay on Saturday.
Then there's a pair of West Midlanders for Team GB's women's hockey squad - who battle it out for gold in tonight's final.
But what about the lesser-spotted oddities of the Games?
BBC News takes a look at the quirkier side of competition, from "bored-looking" lifeguards overseeing green pools to a ban on "toilet fishing". And if that's not enough, take a look at the headline above- talk about a close shave, or not, as the case may be.

Some of the items stolen from police forces in the West Midlands have been recovered over the past five years.
When thieves made off with a blue flashing lamp, officers in Warwickshire managed to get it back.
But cops in our region haven't always been so lucky. When four horses were pinched from West Mercia Police the thieves got away scot-free.
Whether items were retrieved or not, some people are already asking whether the boys and girls in blue need to be a little more careful with their own property.

Nine bikes from the West Midlands force, a sat nav in West Merica and a lap top in Staffordshire are among the items stolen from police across the region. They are bound to raise an eyebrow among many.
Their value ranges from a few pounds to tens of thousands of pounds. "But," I hear you ask, "how on earth could all this property go missing from under the noses of officers?"
In the case of the £113,000 stolen from within the bowels of the Warwickshire force HQ, the answer is, despite a court hearing, nobody knows.

Stoke City's assistant manager Mark Bowen says the increased TV revenue from this season has made it harder than ever to sign new players.
Image source, Stoke CityRamadan Sobhi, Joe Allen and Ryan Sweeney are the club's only additions so far this summer.
From 2016-17 clubs receive even more cash from broadcasters, with Sky and BT Sport paying a record £5.136bn (up from £3.018bn in 2013-16) for live Premier League TV rights for three seasons.
Quote MessageThe bigger pay deal for the clubs, it just seems that everybody, dare I say maybe outside the top two or three clubs, everybody is chasing the same players. They become so precious then because there's only so many of them to go around."
