So, with the euros over, and the football season a while away yet, we come to the next major sporting event of the summer...
Beijing 2008 - The Olympic games.
Now, all the politics shite aside, I love the olympics - it's the biggest sporting event in the world, and whatever your age, you will have fabulous memories of the olympics.
For me, Los Angeles 84 was the first major sporting event I really remember watching as a 10 year old, and it really caught my imagination - from flying men with jet packs, to Car Lewis flying on the track and winning 4 golds, to Daley Thompson just being superhuman... I was hooked.
LA, Seoul, Barcelona, Atlanta, Sydney, Athens have all provided me with a lifetime of fantastic memories...
Anyone else looking forward to the games as much as me?
