I have always thought that there's something magic in the olympics, that the time goes faster. The first ones I remember are Los Angeles 84: the Spanish basketball, the flying man in the inaguration ceremony, Carl Lewis, ... . We, children, met in the mornings to watch basketball matches and spent the day commenting them. We said: it's a pity we have to wait for 4 years for the next Olympics, and... we'll be so old by then!
I look forward to the London ones, I know I'll have a great time enjoying them with my kids.
