2012 Olympics

[TitoFan]

Oddly I haven't read much in the forum about the Olympics, which start in a little over a week. Even more odd considering this is mostly a British forum. I suppose everyone's pretty excited over the upcoming event, and probably more than a few will be attending sporting events live. I will definitely be watching as much of the coverage as possible on TV, as I usually do.

I don't like all sporting events equally, but will usually watch whatever is available at the time I'm also available to watch. Puerto Rico has not done very well at in the summer Olympics, but this year we have our hopes set on 400-meter hurdler Javier Culson, who hopefully can bring us our first gold medal at one of these games.

Regardless, I plan to thoroughly enjoy these games... and look forward to more than a few record performances and memorable moments.

Javier Culson is great. But I think recent form and home advantage will get Dai Greene home in that one.

Hopefully they'll both be in the final heat. If Javier makes it, I'm pretty sure the final will be watched very intently here in P.R. I haven't heard much about our boxing team, and neither of the basketball teams (men's or ladies') qualified for the Games.... so Javier will be our best bet for a medal.

Dai tried to get into Culson's head in the days leading up to the final, and almost didn't qualify himself. And although Culson had to settle for the bronze in the event, my own satisfaction is that Greene finished 5th and out of the medals.
