PASADENA, TEXAS (August 3, 2008) With the 2008 Summer Olympic Games set to begin in four days, all attention will be focused on Beijing, China. However in four years, on July 27, 2012 the Summer Olympics Opening Ceremonies will occur.
In 1454 days, all eyes will be on London and the 30th edition of the Olympic dream that Pierre de Frédy, Baron de Coubertin first presented to an an international congress on 23 June 1894 at the Sorbonne in Paris.
I have attended three Olympic Games (1984, 1992, 1996). I was hoping to travel to Beijing to cover the Games, however job and family responsibilities put the kibosh on that quest a while back.
This forum will keep everyone updated on news, videos, and my general and specific views of the Games in London.
I am planning, along with my loyal and faithful photographer Darla Tamulitis, to attend the Games in Beijing. The date of the Games, July 27-August 12, 2012, should not conflict with any of our other commitments.
By living in the Houston, Texas area, which it turning into a hotbed of Olympic training for athletes of many countries, may provide the basis of a story or two in the lead up to London 2012.
I will be writing and posting regular stories during the next few months with more frequent submissions as the 2012 Olympics approach.
My next post will be the video of the announcement of London receiving the Games.
Check back often for further stories and interesting information of the Games of the 30th Olympiad.
