I love watching the olympics although the monkey ad on tv for it is getting annoying now.

Looking forward to it...I love watching practically anything. I actually got really deep into the badminton doubles last time, lmao...

Makes a nice change to have variety in the sport played rather than just solid football/tennis/rugby.

I normally get into the likes of Badmington too, if there is a Brit doing well anyway.

I think I'll be taking the most interest in the Boxing this time though.

My friend Khan has been picked to train for London 2012 paralympic's, Khan lost the use of his legs when he was 5 in a car crash, in a wheel chair since and he LOVES IT :S, he went to a set of trials and beat 3 grown men who have been training for 4 years, he came 2nd. The scouter when crazy and had a talk with his mum, the man has now become his personal trainer and he trains mondays, thursdays and fridays. He now has a £4000 chair and he loves it. He ran the 100m in 13 seconds, 4 seconds slower than the world record. So watch out the name Khan for London 2012
