Is it just me or when u were a kid, didn't the Olympic Games used to have a proper buzz and some excitement around it in the build-up??
The biggest sporting event in the world (next to the World Cup) starts in under 24 hours time and there doesnt seem like theres that much interest or news coverage about it. Not compared to the build-up Euro 2008 got, or the forthcoming new footy season is getting, or even compared to the amount of coverage about KP captaining the England cricket team.
Do you think an average guy or girl on the street could even name one Team GB athlete (apart from maybe Paula Radcliffe - and she's not 100% certain to compete) and who'll be in the Olympics???
Funny how this county treats sports and its athletes aint it?!
