Introducing The Tickr’s London 2012 Olympic Blogging Team

We’re thrilled about the team we brought together and the Olympic coverage they’re going to bring to the masses. It was a tough decision, but in the end we went with 6 diverse and multifaceted bloggers. A group of individuals that we thought would deliver Olympic content you wouldn’t be able to get anywhere else.
