Olympics 2012, in Londontown

[TigerVols]

Might as well start one, right?

Although I admit it's just a way to publicize my latest crush, Evie Stevens, who in four years has gone from being a Wall Streeter to being a cycling star.

Well, sure. I mean, it's only ... what ... two months until it starts.

Right, and some participants are named...this week.

So if the NBA season goes till late June, do any likely Olympians beg off because of some mysterious injury?

 

[cjericho]

Did she ride through the Occupy Wall Street protests?

 

[HanSenSE]

Opening ceremonies July 27.

 

[Lieslntx]

I freaking love the Olympics.

That is all.

 

[deskslave]

Is it too late to give them to Paris?

It's really too bad rugby7s and golf won't be a go until 2016. They both would have been naturals in England. St. Andrews and Rugby. Would have been sweet. Also would have been cool if the rowing 8s were held on the Thames.

uh.....I don't think you wanna say that St. Andrews is in England.

I believe there are more St. Andrewses (St. Andrewi?) in the British Isles than just the golf course.

Yes, but the golf location I think he is referring to is a scant 8 hours north of London.

Which is still closer to London than the sailing and equestrian venues were to Beijing in 2008.

How many events is Michael Phelps going to swim in? (Assuming he qualifies at the US trials.)

 

[Mizzougrad96]

I'd rather watch preseason NFL.

 

[imjustagirl]

I'd rather watch paint dry.

312.

I hate swimming. Seventeen medals awarded in each gender.

Just pick 4-5 distances, and whoever swims the fastest wins.

Don't need all these disciplines any more than we need track athletes running backward (backstroke) or doing a skip-and-a-hop (breaststroke).

Preseason NFL? That's a low blow. I'd rather watch reruns of King of Queens than preseason NFL.

I would absolutely — ABSOLUTELY — watch a backward 100 meter dash. If we're getting rid of stupid disciplines, the list starts with racewalking.
