Four days to go until the 2012 London Summer Olympics and I'm really looking forward to it. The most popular global sports like basketball and football, while included in the event, somehow take a backseat to other sports such as swimming and track and field.
The only downside for me is that Rafael Nadal is not going to be playing. He is currently battling knee tendinitis and he claims that he is not in any condition to play competitively. Darn!
I am now hoping that Andy Murray wins. Federer is the odds on favorite to win, but with Andy Murray losing four Grand Slam finals (3 to Federer, 1 to Djokovic), he is arguably the best player in history never to win a Slam. We all saw how much it pained him to lose the Wimbledon final, so I hope he can finally break through in a major event. It won't be a Slam, but an Olympic Gold in his own country (by country, I mean the United Kingdom and not England as Andy Murray is from Scotland :)) would be a spectacular win and a great moment both for him and for the UK.
