[Sport] Olympics 2012 thoughts

Image
The London 2012 summer Olympics have finished after two weeks of top quality sport. It’s a sad moment, as I’ve really enjoyed this Olympics. More so than Beijing, but I suspect that that’s in a large part down to the fact that I was in the right timezone, and could actually watch the events, rather than just the round-up shows every day. I’ve discovered a couple of new sports along the way, and want to share some of my thoughts on the event as a whole.   The official logo is still pants. This one is much better.

The Olympics are here! Hurrah!   Every four years (ok, every two years if you include the winter Olympics), I get very excited about a whole bunch of sports to which I normally pay very little attention. The Olympics are, to me, a wonderful celebration of sporting achievement, and the chance for many sports to showcase themselves before a much larger audience than they would normally receive. The competition is of the utmost quality, and there are always moments of high drama. Because the real logo looks too stupid......(Credi: economicshelp.org)
