blackhawkrush Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Only a few more days left. I hear James Bond himself (Daniel Craig) is going to land at the stadium in a helicopter to start the opening ceremony. The whole spectacle is to be based on a Shakespeare play "The Tempest." Can't wait for the Games to begin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushCanuck Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I'll be watching... Go, Canada, Go! I like the sports where the outcome is decided by time, not judges. Rumor has it the Who and Spice Girls will be in the closing ceremonies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping there won't be too many mistakes made by them because I'm looking forward to a good volleyball tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
