100 days to the Olympics. Excited?

[MASS1961]

I am quite a sport loving person (except boxing) but I am having trouble getting excited about it.

I'm sure I will when it begins but it may as well be thousands of miles away rather than in this country.

Anybody feel excited yet?

Nibble, how's your Knee? rent will of course involve a share of dog-walking duties.

[Nibble]

Depends on the requirements of the dog baldric, chiuaua - no prob, greyhound - mmmm tbc, great dane - sorry :-(

Rate tbc on dog ;-))

[rowanwitch]

How about a retreat in a monastery.... about the only way to avoid it

I think the indifference on here mirrors that shwon by the majority of the country.

If you listen to Seb Coe, you'd believe that a million more individuals will be involved in sport after the event, than before. But Seb Coe would say that - his life is sport, so he thinks everyone else should love it as much as he does.

Personally I can't understand wby we don't have 'Everything That's Rock And Roll' by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers as our national anthem, but the point is, enthusiasm from one, or a few, does not translate into tnehtnusiasm from the masses.

I am indifferent to sport, and I feel that the amount of money spent is an obscenity, and the end results are highly unlikely to justify the money spent - we shall have to wait and see.

As far as the coverage is concerned, I shall be reacting as i do to 99% of televised sport - with utter disinterest.

Mobility scooter for rent anyone??

[zabado]

Can't wait for it . . . . .the CLOSING ceremony that is.

[Davethedog]

As a resident of Greenwich I can get to three Olympic venues whithin 20 minutes, there is no indifference with myself and my fellow residents (those I know) There is seething anger.

September the 3rd, the day after its all over cannot come soon enough.

There was poll taken by LBC radio station that shows 48% of Londoners are "less than enthusiastic" about the games. It upsets me that this hasn't been reflected in the media coverage.

Am I excited? Not half! I've got tickets.Let me just look what they're for...weightlifting, hockey, athletics 'B' (as opposed to 'B----- athletics !', I suppose),rhythmic gymnastics, a first round soccer match, and the women's nude mud-wrestling (that must be a 'demonstration sport', or maybe I imagined that).

What a thrill-filled few days that promises to be , (especially watching some big bloke from Mongolia grunting his way, in a cloud of rosin dust, to dropping half a tonne on a barbell)! Who could miss it?

Anyone want a ticket? I may just have a spare or two.

[chaptazbru]

Not interested AT ALL. Will be away for the start of it anyway. Everything always happen down south and I'm way up north, so that's probably got something to do with it as well !

[LDC134]

Well I am with MaidUp, I have tickets and am very much looking forward to the whole event, both the live and televised part.

[chaptazbru]

I'm with zabado ...

[Coldicote]

I do so agree with many of these comments. A prestigious occasion perhaps, which may benefit our country's standing in the world, but I'm sick of hearing about Olympics and the sooner it's all over the better.

[sheranudeep]

I just want see the performance of Usain bolt , Michael phelps , David rudhisha, Haile Gabrsasslise .

[snags]

Not excited by the Olympics as a whole but I'll follow the track cycling, the sprint track events and some swimming.

[Ann]

No!
