Well the 17 days are over. The Games were wonderful. I’d like to thank TheTickr for the opportunity to write about the world’s greatest athletes at one of the world’s greatest sporting events.
Hope to see you in Rio.

The Olympics are over but the controversy over the Men’s 4x100m relay may not be. As you may know, Canada was disqualified and stripped of the bronze medal for stepping on a lane line during the race. BUT, they weren’t the only ones. These screen grabs clearly show both the USA and Trinidad stepping on the lines as well.
Hat tip to @mdcardinal for pointing this out.
Goodbye Olympics, Its been a good journey.

Latest of the lip-syncs comes from… TEAM GB! Ennis and Hoy join the Adidas marketing coup as a host of Great Britain’s Olympic champions’ take on Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now to celebrate the success of the London 2012 Olympic Games. Louis Smith is amazing in this…
The U.S. and China won more medals, but I’m not sure any country had more fun competing than Team GB. Well done. And Queen!

Congratulations to Christine Sinclair for being named Canada’s flag bearer for the closing ceremonies. Can’t think of a more fitting choice to represent and lead the Canadian Olympic athletes at the closing ceremony.
“This is a huge honour and I wish I could have my teammates right here with me… We want the next generation of young girls to dream of being in the Olympics and getting a medal around their necks. If we can instill in them just the belief that this can happen, then we have done our jobs.”

Pau has got to be pretty excited right now. At the moment he is battling Russia for a chance to play in the Olympic Finals AND he woke up to find out he won’t have to go play in Orlando as the Dwightmare looks like it’s finally coming to a close.
