The 2016 Rio Olympics by the Numbers: From Medal Counts to Condoms

You'll never believe what goes into putting on sports' biggest event.

Let the games begin! Or, we should say, let the math begin. 

Yes, the 31st Olympiad are well underway and things have been everything we expected. There was high drama in the swimming pool. The Final Five won gold (again). Aly Raisman's parents were super stressed. Everybody's online dating. In other words, it's been a very successful few weeks in Rio de Janeiro. 

But of course, simply watching the nightly broadcast or reading Twitter the next day doesn't tell the whole story. There's so much going on behind the scenes to make the Olympics happen every day, and it's time to take a closer look. And yes, we're going to use math—or numbers, rather. We pulled together all the craziest facts and figures to give some insight into the Olympic world on the other side of the camera.
