Fans of the Olympics are in luck. Even though you will need to wait until next year to see any events, the London 2012 Summer Games have a blog following every decision and problem faced as the games creep closer. The blog is called London2012Blog: http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/london-2012-olympics-blog. It can be found under the sports section on The Guardian website.The London 2012 Blog is, simply put, amazing. It gives Olympic nuts their fix through coverage of everything Games delivered with a healthy side of dry British wit. Readers around the world get a glimpse into the trials and tribulations that are happening in London in preparation for the Games. It covers everything from reactions to the torch (is it a torch or a cheese grater, nobody knows), the finalists in designing the London 2012 posters, athlete spotlights and updates on the ongoing circus of ticket distribution.
I do not recall seeing this type of blog for the Beijing Games (but the language barrier may have been why). This blog is a huge step forward in engaging fans and stirring up excitement for the big event. Ref. london2012blog, img. davidreport.com
