To me, the biggest blunder of David Camerons career was scheduling the Brexit vote during the European Football (Soccer) Championships where nationalism was sure to be at peak levels.
Now, fortunately the olympics are not going on at the same time as the election, but will any of the candidates momentarily get a small "olympics" bounce in the polls? Has this been studed in the past? Surely nationalism plays an even greater role in this election than in the previous elections that I can recall. Will that benefit Trump? On the other hand, Trumps success is fed by fear and the Olympics may make people feel good and proud of their country, which might benefit a more feel-good (comparatively) candidate like Clinton.
