OLYMPIC GAMES 2012

[MyHeartIsYours]

Im supporting my fellow European Madrid of course!

 

[Scooby]

I cheer for Madrid but I'm almost sure that Istanbul will be 2020 host

 

[ory26]

All my heat for Tokyo 2020. It's the best candidature and because i want Paris in 2024

 

[Grinch]

So it's between Madrid and Tokyo, Istanbul has no chance

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

The Olympic Torch will be passing through my town at the end of June, I shall be going to see it

I hope Istanbul gets it. That almost guarantees Ireland/Scotland/Wales for Euro 2020

 

[DoctorX]

It has to be given an opportunity like this to Istanbul anymore as long as they consider Brasil as eager to host both world cup in 2014 and the olympic games in 2016.

Well 5th candidacy for Istanbul. I think it's time.

 

[AlekS]

Istanbul ftw. It's very close to us

Did you go see it or not? All my Uni friends still in Bangor had it a few days ago, some pics one of them took

 

[Charly]

Yes it was near my house the route XD

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

Ohh they're good pics! Cant wait for it to come through Oldham, no where near as excited about the Olympics as I am about the Jubilee but still, it's an event that I'll probably never see in the UK again in my life, so gotta make the most of it!

 

[AlekS]

Gr8 pics, really exciting!


As of 30.05 Ukraine is ready to send 256 sportsmen (our all time record).
220 - A standard
36 - B standard

NTU will broadcast all events, whole day.

 

[Jukica]

Can't wait

Yesterday the Olympic torch came to my city!

I got to see it three times! Once by the riverfront (picture below) and then we walked to city hall to see it pass by there. There was a protest behind city hall (protesting against police brutality), so the torch bearer had to detour and come back around city hall again, so we got to see it twice there!

It was nice to see it - I doubt I'll ever see it again. And there was a party atmosphere in the city. There was also a concert with Snow Patrol playing but I didnt get tickets to that

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

It's great that everyone's getting to see it! Seeing the Olympic Torch will be something we'll remember for the rest of our lives!

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

The Olympic Torch has made its way from the United Kingdom into Ireland now, here's a couple of faces you may just know carrying it through Dublin

The torch came by my little village today! A 20 minute stop and all the trimmings. Was a lot of fun. Good to see all the saltires waving. Might post pictures later if I get everything working.

 

[AlekS]

As of today:
Armenia - 25 licenses
Kazakhstan - 102
Ukraine - 271

Congrats to Zara Phillips, we're going to cheer for her
Maria Sharapova confirmed that she will be Russia's flagbearer.

In a few days my city is going to host the last high jump event until the Olympics so I'll go to the stadium )))
