True, but over a bit fast.
My favorite is pretty much anything the Belgians stand a chance winning a medal, so not a lot I'm afraid Well, we carry high hopes for Tennis (Kim Clijsters) and Women High Jump (Tia Hellebouts, gold medal last time).
But it's exciting anyway... |

I only watch the figure skating and synchronize swimming during Olympics even because it's very entertaining to watch athletes do their move. _________________ Ropes Course |

I have got tickets for the Mens football quarter final in Cardiff. Tickets can stil be bought direct from the official site for the football as it seems to be the one event many people are not ineterested in.
I can't wait. An olympics event is an olympics event. |

Train from Peterborogh to kings cross
then via underground to stratford.
It should take less than 2 hours but I dont know how far it is.
The olympic flame goes past our house and were very excited about it. _________________ Cycle Accommodation |

Here in the US we’re being told to get vaccinated for measles before traveling to the UK for the Olympics. Is there a big measles outbreak there? _________________ A sense of humor is the pole that adds balance to your steps as you walk the tightrope of life--W.A. Ward |

Hmmm that‘s interesting, here they’re making it sound like there’s a massive measles outbreak over there. _________________ A sense of humor is the pole that adds balance to your steps as you walk the tightrope of life--W.A. Ward |
