Olympic Countdown- 1 Day!

Let it be known that I adore the Olympics.

It's the epitome of almost everything I stand for. Love it.

Have the DVR set for days. I'm ready.

Some quick tid bits:

• UVA is in the games! 2 Swimmers that I actually know. I can say we definitely have hung out and shared some life. Matt McLean and Lauren Perdue...wahoowa!
• The UK has it's first Women's National Soccer Team in the games. They won yesterday.
• 1 billion people are expected to watch the Opening Ceremony.
• 10,000 volunteers are a part of the ceremony.
• London has hosted the games twice before in 1908 and 1948.
• 205 nations will compete
• Olympic Stadium will have a capacity of 80,000. Yet, it's the lightest stadium ever build (now, how does someone quantify that?)
• There's a 27-ton bell used in the Opening Ceremony.
• Everything in London is in metrics and it's hard for me to convert.

The girl with the long curly hair is currently at UVA. She had a sister swim there, as well.

A def must watch...
