Change of focus here at onemansportsnetwork.com
With the Beijing Olympics in China fast approaching I am changing my focus to almost nothing but the Olympics. I will be writing a few posts about the Tour de France but apart from that it will be Olympics, Olympics and more Olympics.
With just 26 days to go until the Olympic opening ceremony and 17 days until I arrive in the Olympic city I am switching the site into Olympic mode.
For me the Olympics are the pinnacle of any sporting endeavor and I have followed them with great interest ever since I saw the opening ceremony for the Montreal Olympics in 1976. Back then I had dreams of competing as an athlete. Despite giving it my best shot that never came about.
After it was clear I was not going to make it as an athlete I got to do the next best thing and that was to attend as a fan. Luckily for me Sydney was awarded the 2000 games and I was able to attend many Olympic events. Apart from witnessing lots of great sporting action the atmosphere in Sydney was the best ever. It really felt like the friendly city.
The Olympic gods were kind to me once again for 2008. My wife is from Beijing. We get to combine a vacation in Beijing with the Olympic experience. So far we have secured tickets for the 100m athletics final for men, one session of tennis and one session of beach volleyball.
Before moving forward I will be looking back. For the past couple of weeks I have been thinking about the most memorable moments from Olympics gone by. My next post will include these. I would love to here from you as well.
Until then hope you enjoy your time here at the blog.
