Mark Spitz is now more scared of Lochte et al.

I'll grow when you grow/Let me loosen up the blindfold/I'll fly when you cry/Lift us out of this landslide/Wherever you go/Whenever we part

What a great Games.

Several world records flew.

I think London 2012 was a huge success.

GO, RIO!!!!

Too true 'Dale!  loved its all, and watched it all on-line (although challenging at times)

MTB race > what a finish!

Glad the weather perked up. When the weather is good there, it's really good.

Gave the Opening and Closing Ceremonies a miss, although dipped in an out. The worst of pop, and Brits tend to be backward-looking. Shame really, there is so much cutting edge musical culture happening there. Dave Clark should have been pumping some funky techno on those Line Arrays and Duran Duran should have closed with  "Rio"
