The 2012 Summer Olympic Games

The 2012 Summer Olympic Games, formally known as the Games of the XXX Olympiad, are scheduled to take place in London, United Kingdom, from 27 July to 12 August 2012. London will become the first city to officially host the modern Olympic Games three times. The 2012 Olympic and Paralympics Games will use a mixture of new venues, existing and historic facilities, and temporary facilities, some of them in well-known locations such as Hyde Park and Horse Guards Parade. In the wake of the problems that plagued the Millennium arena, the organizers' intention is that there will be no white elephants after the Games and instead that a "2012 legacy" will be delivered. The logo for the 2012 Olympics was explained by organizers as a worldwide invitation to the London Games. The jigsaw puzzle logo for the 2012 Olympic Games in London has ignited a firestorm of public opposition more than five years before the Games will open. In the Z-like number "2" is the Olympic host city "London," spelled out in lower case letters, and in the "O" is the five-ringed Olympic symbol.

The good news for British swimming is that Rebecca Adlington is back in form; the better news is that the double Olympic champion has got two compatriots breathing down her neck in the quest for freestyle primacy at the London Games of 2012. The Bike Radar Live 2010 will see some of the biggest names in mountain biking in action. Gee, Dan and Rachel Atherton, Scott Beaumont, US legend Brian Lopes and World Champion Steve Peat will go head-to-head in the double slalom competition. A total of 8,500 riders and their families came to the inaugural event and promises to be even more fun with more riders, more pros, more features and more races.

The festival's many attractions will include spectacular all-weather stunt displays, a cycling film festival and live big top entertainment including evening entertainment and bands. A British judo star tipped for success at the 2012 Olympics hanged himself with his own black belt after struggling to get over splitting from his girlfriend, an inquiry heard. Firefighter Robert 'Robbie' Gallacher, 23, was so talented in martial arts he was listed as one of the amateur sportsmen expected to shine during the London Olympics.

There are a few games for Wii that won't copy to an SD card.
It usually isn't a matter of space, it is a matter of format/structure.

BMX Now an Olympic Sport

BMX Now an Olympic Sport

Signifying the International Olympic Committee's growing efforts to appeal to a younger generation by showcasing competitions and athletes they are familiar with, the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing will feature BMX racing. It's true, BMX is now an official Olympic sport; joining the ranks of snowboarding half pipe competitions and snowboarding races now as official Olympic sports. The IOC is appealing to the youth in an attempt to reverse the trend of seeing the Olympics as boring or for older people only.


BMX, short for bicycle motorcross, has been around since the 1960s and the International BMX Federation was formed in 1981. In the last decade the sport has exponentially grown in popularity due in large part to televised competitions such as the X Games. BMX bikes are designed differently from other types of bicycles, typically with very small wheels and in freestyle competitions, mechanisms that allow the handlebars to be spun completely around. At the X Games, BMX is an all encompassing discipline that includes BMX racing and freestyle BMX competitions.


Included in the freestyle disciples of BMX are half pipe (vert) competitions in which competitors ride the half pipe performing complex tricks, spins and flips at each side and street competitions in which a series of ramps, boxes, rails and other obstacles are incorporated into a park course and competitors can choose where and how they want to perform their tricks. The goal in the street competition is usually to perform as wide a variety of tricks off of as wide a variety of obstacles as possible. In the half pipe competitions, factors such as getting the biggest air (how high you soar above the half pipe on your jumps) and trick variety are important.


The IOC is taking BMX one step at a time however. As this is the first Olympic Games featuring BMX as an Olympic sport, the only BMX discipline will be racing. The IOC is officially calling these races Cycling BMX. The races will feature eight riders on a course of 350 meters that includes jumps and banked turns. Considering the popularity of the snowboarding competitions in the Winter Olympics and particularly of the trick-based competitions - it is likely that the IOC will continue to expand it's inclusion of BMX as an Olympic sport. If BMX as an Olympic sport can gain only a fraction of the popularity and exposure that snowboarding gained from its inclusion in the Olympic Games, than the sport will truly be reaching new heights, as their riders continually do so on a daily basis.
