With lots of concerns around if London would be able to pull it off, it looks like the dust is settling and it’s time to start my countdown, amateur coverage and excitement for the 2012 Summer Olympics. Why you ask?
Because I love the Summer Olympic Games and everything that comes with it: the 144 participating nations, cultures and identities, 302 events, 26 sports (this year including womens’ boxing!), the amazing athletic talent, the controversy, the conversation, the bias, the connection, the sportsmanship, the flags, the art, the food, the painted faces, the drug testing drama, the french judges, everything. Sigh.
We’ll get into this more as we near The Day of Glory that is Opening Ceremony but for now…
211-ish days until Opening Ceremony on July 27, 2012. Stay tuned.
Live free. Dream far.
