The Olympics is all about humankind’s ability to triumph over its naturally-imposed limitations and the world around it. So why, then, has the highly-respected Washington Post announced that it is handing much of the reportage of individual events over to Heliograf, its robot reporter?

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - An epic wildfire that has killed one person and blackened about 60,000 acres along the California coast, forced authorities on Monday to shut down a portion of scenic Highway 1 near Carmel-by-the-Sea.

Venezuela had the blueprint. They didn’t have near the talent to execute it for 40 minutes. Venezuela slowed the game down, mucked it up, got to the free throw line, was aided by some sloppy USA play for stretches, and made this game much closer than the 50-point Las Vegas line most of the night.
