Will you be watching?
I watched some of the Olympic trials a couple weeks ago and was astounded at the strength and determination of the athletes. It is simply amazing the types of physical feats competitors will be attempting from around the world. For the gold!
Do you have a favorite event to watch? Swimming? Gymnastics? Table Tennis?
I'm going to catch what I can. No matter what I watch, I'm hoping to see some real "Olympic moments." Something inspiring! Underdogs! People who have overcome enormous obstacles!
Check out the official Olympics website here, http://www.london2012.com/, then check out some Olympic books from the library!
