The Olympic Torch relay has begun
Enter the Poll Below!
Watching it on TV, although I'm going into town tomorrow to see the torch :) The relay starts tomorrow not today, it landed like half an hour ago.
i'm only watching the opening ceremony and the female, male & relay 100m events on tv. the tickets were far too expensive :'(
im seeing the torch go through my uni town and hometown (big parties in both places) and rly wanted to go see the opening ceremony, i go on holiday a few days later tho!
i'll be watching gymnastics, swimming, bits of the athletics + diving (go tom daley), but mainly ill watch whatever there is when im bored, i do like watching the olympics :)
We'll be in Florida for the whole duration of the games so we'll miss it all! :)
hey they do have a bit of coverage (yeah it is more based around the US strength events) but don't you take your laptop? im planning on watching it online :PQuote:

I'll probably go and watch it pass through my town despite having college, but they can go **** themselves :) Apart from that, I probably will only watch a few events and probably the opening ceremony.
Yeah that's true. :P Woooo that's good. We'll be there 18th July - 11th August... can't wait!! You're coming home on A-Level results day, ooo! :P We planned to be back in time for that! :)Quote:

The torch doesn't come to my town, only the border of it they've even tarmacced the road for the relay :rolleyes:
I'll probably only watch the football/soccer.
Besides, the Euro's is only 21 days away.
I'm only going to watch the opening ceremony probably, the torch actually goes right by my school on sports day so I might see that, although that is at 8AM.
Oooo, good luck to her! Yeah, for my GCSE and AS Results we were over in Florida and a phone call did the trick, but it's probably best to be on home territory for the big ones! I know what you mean about staying away from the parks. It's really nice to get away from the hustle and bustle and try somewhere new - Clearwater, Cocoa Beach, Daytona Beach, St. Augustine! We had a drive up to Savannah in Georgia one year too (6 hour drive: left at 5am, got back at 2am!) but it was well worth it... such a serene place. Have fun!! :)Quote:

i love watching the olympics, i didn't manage to get any tickets but i will be definitely watching it on tv :)
I always watch the Olympics! Definitely will be doing so this year, really wanted tickets but they're so expensive and by the time I realised they were on sale, hardly anything was left. I'm not really into most sports but when the Olympics are on I seem to love them! Really excited about tennis, I'm a massive tennis fan so it'd be nice to watch a few matches :P
