2012 Summer Olympics
The 2012 Olympics are responsible for my inability to purchase a UK plane ticket at a reasonable rate.
I'm excited. I hope that since Comcast owns NBC I will get to see a lot of the events. Of course I will miss the Tour de France when it ends but the Olympics are always fun and it will be nice way to see London without leaving home.

I love the Olympics. I think I favor the Winter Games a little bit more, but I like them all.
I’m really excited for this one in particular, I hope Michael Phelps makes history!

Unfortunately, my family cannot get any television in our area, so I probably will not watch them. Unless we see partial clips online...
My blog: http://www.jessericebooks.blogspot.com Where I talk about stuff and the book(s) I've published.
You’ll probably be able to watch a lot of it online, NBC is pretty good about that when it comes to the Olympics.
I prefer the winter games too but there are fun things to watch. Track and field is always interesting and I love watching the equestrian competition. The horses are so amazing to watch.bookworm wrote:I love the Olympics. I think I favor the Winter Games a little bit more, but I like them all.

I'm excited about cheering for my Americans in basketball, track and field, gymnastics, etc., but unfortunately, I will be at summer camp during most of the Olympics. Oh well.

Yeah, Winter way better. But these are fun too. My little sister has been counting down from about 120 days to go.

DAVID BECKHAM DIDN'T GET PICKED FOR THE ENGLAND TEAM.
Before anyone asks, there are only 18 players allowed for a squad list, and only 3 of them can be above at 23.... Gr. Ryan Giggs was chosen over him...
JUST BECAUSE THE QUEEN KNIGHTED HIM DOESN'T MEAN HE SHOULD'VE BEEN PICKED OVER BECKS.
And poor Gareth Bale. He would've definitely been chosen, but he's injured. Only time he would've ever won a medal of any importance, too.

I really do prefer winter as well, but enjoy diving and gymnastics quite a bit!

Matt Smith ran the torch for part of the relay. THEY HAVE THE WRONG DOCTOR RUNNING.
I am very excited about the Olympics this year! They are going to be amazing!

It's true. *shudders*

first of all, that happened already? goodness, I would've liked to know when that was going down.Amethystic wrote:Matt Smith ran the torch for part of the relay. THEY HAVE THE WRONG DOCTOR RUNNING.
and I definitely agree with you; I wish the Olympics had been hosted by Great Britain while David Tennant was still the Doctor But in all fairness, Matt Smith is the current doctor and isn't that bad. I just happen to like the tenth Doctor more
Till the end of the line.

Matt Smith is great, but David Tennant ran the Olympic torch in season two. His absence ruining all of our Whovian hopes and fantasies.Shennifer wrote:first of all, that happened already? goodness, I would've liked to know when that was going down.Amethystic wrote:Matt Smith ran the torch for part of the relay.

Ohhh, that's right. I had forgotten that David Tennant ran the torch during that season.
Our men's national soccer team didn't make it to the Games, but the women did, so I hope Abby Wambach leads us to gold. Other than that, I especially enjoy the pole-vaulting and swimming, but I will watch everything that I can. Team USA, baby.
