2012 Summer Olympics

[Bram Hengeveld]

The 2012 Summer Olympic Games, will take place in London, England, United Kingdom, from 27 July to 12 August 2012.

 

[James Johnson]

Well this will be affecting me big time since i live between the Stadium and the Watersports up in Waltham Cross.

 

[Ho3n3r]

Wish I could like it a 1000 times

By FAR my most anticipated sporting event! Will follow it closely, and hopefully chat about it a lot here - obviously with my South African-tinted glasses

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

I hope they fired the person that came up with the logo of this event. Must be by far the most ugly one ever used

Would immediately believe it when someone said this was designed for the '36 Olympics in Berlin.

Yes, by a 3-year old

Luckily the sport itself promises a lot.

The only event I'll be following is the 50km walking race.

 

[Hiroshi Awazu]

Well the London logo still looks better than what we had back in 2010.

I think my girlfriend's little girl created this or Pokey ate Gumby then barfed him up after eating a box of crayons

Nice, wish I was that close to the events!

In Africa we'll probably never see the Olympics...

The Olympic Torch is being sold on Ebay with some fetching £150,000. In my opinion it's just a golden cheese grater..

Mm.. Cheese..!

If you're looking for an Olympic Torch and you are on a tight budget then you should take a look at this, Read the description, It's amazing.

"The offical torches are not as good as there made from metal and have lots of holes in them like an old datsun (probably) and they are a bit of a fire hazard when lit, my replica has a low carbon foot print and is suitable for vegetarians (to carry not eat)"

My athlete to watch is Sunette Viljoen:

She is reaching awesome form, and is the humblest person you will ever know. Got 3rd at WC's last year, but this year she really is going for it.

by a helicopter, or simply grab a V8 car, any jumps you see then take them ,and go weee accross london

SECURITY giants G4S yesterday admitted they underestimated the task of supplying 10,000 guards for the London Olympics.

Speaking publicly for the first time since details of the fiasco emerged, chief executive Nick Buckles said he was “very sorry” 3500 troops had to be drafted in at the last minute to make up the shortfall.

It also emerged last night that HM Inspectorate of Constabulary warned Home Office ministers 10 months ago of possible problems with G4S’s ability to provide security for the Olympics.

Probably and i would get searched like i do every time i go to the airport and i'm like the only person out of a group of people to get searched.

Only 10 more days! Let the games begin(almost)...
