Sports Around the World: 1/11-1/15

Here’s this week’s update on sports around the world


Soccer

Carli Lloyd gets commemorative cleats in honor of her Player of the Year award!

Lionel Messi will probably be missing the Olympics…in part because he is too old, so he would take one of their three overage slots, but the primary reason seems to be concern about keeping him rested for the other competitions he’s already committed to.


Olympics

Carli Lloyd wasn’t the only person to get shoes this week.  A new edition of vintage shoes are being released for the Olympics.  You can walk in Mark Moses’ childhood shoes by getting your own pair!

Nintendo will release a Mario & Sonic Rio 2016 Olympic Game!

But it’s not all fun and video games in Rio…
