You guys are considered a long shot, but I'm going for you guys because it means the games are going to be in a time zone where I don't have to wake up at 4 in the morning to watch them.

Anyway, London 2012 :p

I'm glad NY got eliminated.

That's what you get for playing the sympathy card.

Er, no offense Mahoro.

I love watching the world cup soccer games at 3 or 4am and ending up drunk by 8am. I wonder where the mtn biking is going to be in england.

I'd wake up at any time of the day or night for men's gymnastics or synchronised swimming. ;)

And I'm wondering the same as you about mtn biking 7trax. I'm sure they'll come up with something... there's lots of countryside.

According to this, it's the "Weald Country Park" where Cycling-Mountain Biking will take place.

The mountain biking will be held in France :p

7trax, I agree with you, but that's soccer. And the World Cup is a completely different beat than the Olympics, just based on the fans and the fan culture. Which is why next year is going to rule :p

Yay! London won... Well, I didn't really care who won, as long as Paris didn't get it.
