Start of the 2012 Olympics.


Hamish Bond (front) and Eric Murrry (back)
The first few days of the 2012 Olympics have been thrilling. Starting with the very well put together opening ceremony. I have watched some of the Rowing and some of the Equestrian Dressage and it is all very exciting. My Olympian I chose to follow Eric Murry started his Olympic charge with winning his heat and beating all his opponent's by 8 seconds and over in the men's coxless pair. With his partner Hamish Bond, they haven't been beaten in rowing since 2008. They also smashed the record with a perfect race with this perfect time 6m 08.50s.

Here is a medal table on this website so you can keep up to date on the medal standings.
