If you closely review your Olympic events schedule today, you will find no competition. No games. No sprints, walks, jumps, dives, rows, cycles....nothin'. The only thing going on in London today is the Opening Cermonies.
But, if you think there is no competition to be found today....Au contraire, mon petite Coubertin!
Out in the middle of Lake George, the Leontine games have begun! Correspondents on the scene tell us that the Opening Ceremonies, including a torch lighting and athletes parade took place yesterday, and competition in several disciplines begins this morning.
Medals will be awarded in sprint events, a longer "Island Run", multiple swimming categories, the long jump, and several non-medal events, including water skiing and tubing.
Evidently, on Leontine, the motto is expanded: "Faster, Higher, Stronger, Wetter!"
Thanks for keeping the spirit alive, we'd love to see some pictures!
Edited, Friday AM - Mea culpa. There IS archery competition today, in fact, a World record was set!
