Opening Ceremony Day.

So today the Olympics get underway and we get to see what all the fuss is about. The athletes are just about ready to walk behind there flags and thinking of there first event. (apart from the football that's already started - well I guess we can forgive them for not understanding the concept of OPENING Ceremony)

One thing with Olympics is that you can always be sure of a surprise. Remember Eric the Eel or Eddie the Eagle Edwards (Winter Games) Some people are competing with the thought of winning far from possible and the taking part is just a dream about to come reality.

I would love the London Games to be remembered for one of those great story's. and already there has been drama as the officials showed the South Korean Flag when North Korea where warming up for the football.

I thought I would try and do some blogs over the next few weeks based on the Olympics. I though it would be good to share my thoughts on the event that unfold and try and make the Olympics more interesting for myself.

Ill be watching as much as possible and trying to blog about it, and there are some event I'm looking forward to... Shot Putt (was going to try out for this but realised it wasn't a tennis ball they throw), Rugby, Diving and Ladies Beech Volley Ball (weather permitting)

The flame will be entering the stadium later after its epic journey from Athens, around the UK and finally to the Olympic flame will light up the main beacon to burn throughout the Games. So I'm thinking ill try and and do the same.
