I'll watch athletics and swimming. And the opening ceremony to see if I can spot my friend drumming.

Why turn your back on a sport where the UK could actually land a silver* medal? Whinging about weather, traffic etc. is a core sport of the UK and should be recognised in the Olympics.

* Note : The gold would go to Oz, of course.

A favourite Olympic moment, whilst not in the Summer, was Torvil & Dean winning gold with across the board 10s with the Bolero in Sarajavo in 1984. It was superb.

It's alright. London 2012 is a Winter Olympics.
