The olympics are over but the paralympics are heading our way. They begin on the 29th of August and end on the 9th of Spetember this year. London 2012 is looking to be a truly excellent year for athletics and sport for the UK and for a great deal of other countries.
If you want more information on events, times, how the classifications work and for tickets etc, the official site is : http://www.london2012.com/paralympics/sports/
We in the UK have a wonderful team this year and I hope you will support them.
On a slightly concerning note, ticket websites have been having issues with keeping up with demand!
The Winter Olympics of 2014 are to be held in Sochi, Russia. They begin on the 23rd of February 2014. These will be the 22nd official winter olympics and President Putin of Russia really pushed for Sochi to hold this prestigious event. Very few people have heard of Sochi but there is a strong feeling that this Black Sea town will soon be under great scrutiny.
A little concerningly, it is now being released that they are beginning preparations 'already'!! Most countries begin preparations within days of learning they have won the bid to hold them. Will this small Russian location be ready in time? We shall soon find out.
Wishing them, and London the best of luck for the upcoming games!
