London puts on a jolly good show for the 2012 Summer Olympics
The Opening Ceremonies of an Olympics is like meeting someone for the first time: It’s a city’s or country’s chance to make a first impression, one that it can’t get back or do over. For Bob Costas, the show in Beijing that kicked off the 2008 Summer Games was the be-all and end-all of Opening Ceremonies, exhibiting a power, beauty, and attention to detail and precision that left him awestruck – and somewhat disturbed. “I think in Beijing they retired the trophy,” says Costas, a veteran of 10 Olympics dating back to the Seoul Summer Games in 1988. “You know, they had the resources to do it. You have a country that not only financed
Page 3 the Olympics and did so with an unlimited budget, but which is in a position to have tens of thousands of ‘volunteers’ volunteer to rehearse for six months. You just got circumstances in China that you wouldn’t find anywhere else.” “I think that the average person watching at home had a combination of appreciation and awe for the beauty of it and the accomplishment of it. But also it was a little unsettling to them, because you said, ‘My God, if they can marshal their forces with this much precision for this ...’ – well you fill in the blank.” This time around, London is on display as the 2012 Summer Olympics gets underway with the Opening Ceremonies Friday, July 27, on NBC, kicking off more than 5,500 hours of coverage across NBC and its properties Bravo, CNBC, MSNBC, NBC
Sports Network, Telemundo, NBCOlympics.com and two specialty channels, that runs through the Closing Ceremonies on Aug. 12.

Like handball, water polo is played by two teams of seven – six outfield players and a goalkeeper – with the object being to put the ball in the opponents’ goal. Twelve countries compete in the men’s tournament and eight in the women’s in a roundrobin format, followed by semifinals and finals. Threetime defending gold medalists Hungary are favored to repeat on the men’s side, with 2008 silver and bronze medalists the United States and Serbia vying with Montenegro for remaining podium space. In the ladies’ tournament, defending silver and bronze medalists the United States and Australia head a wideopen field.

Watch out for falling records Swimming is divided into four strokes – freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke and butterfly, plus medley (a combination of the four) – in distances ranging from 50 meters to 10
Page 5
kilometers, and there are individual and relay events. Thirty-four gold medals are awarded to men’s and women’s swimmers. Unless you’ve been living on Jupiter, you know the big story of these games is American Michael Phelps and his pursuit of the alltime record for total medals won by an Olympic athlete of 18, held by 1950s-60s Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina. Currently, he’s at 16, so the idea that the owner of 14 gold medals, including a
single-games record eight in Beijing, can’t manage at least three bronzes in about a half-dozen events is patently absurd. Of course, the 27year-old Baltimore native has indicated this will be his last Olympics, so if he‘s going to do it, now is the time. At this writing, it was not known in which events he would participate, although he has indicated the 400m individual medley would not be among them, due to its grueling nature.
One record that won’t fall in London will be one that was thought to be destined for American Natalie Coughlin. She failed to qualify for two events – the 100m butterfly and 100m backstroke – that, had she medaled, would have made her the most decorated female American swimmer in Olympic history. Currently, that distinction belongs to retired teammate Jenny Thompson and Dara Torres, who have 12 to Coughlin’s 11. Coughlin has qualified for the 4x100m freestyle relay.

Fourteen gold medals are awarded to men and women in eight disciplines: pairs, fours, lightweight fours and eights, and single, double, lightweight double and quadruple sculls. Great Britain hopes to use the home course to its advantage in the men’s lightweight double scull, in which the tandem of Mark Hunter and Zac Purchase is a threat, and the women’s double scull, with Katherine Grainger and Anna Watkins. Olaf Tufte of Norway and Ekaterina Karsten-Khodotovitch of Belarus should get podium space in the men’s and women’s single sculls.

Ten gold medals are awarded among various categories in three size classes (one-, two- and three-person crews), with six for men and four for women. On the men’s side, Great Britain is the favorite in the Star (two person), having topped the medal count at each of the last three Olympics.
Pavol (left) and Peter Hochschorner
Small craft advisory Canoeing is divided into two disciplines – slalom and sprint – with the former taking place on a whitewater obstacle course negotiated by single competitors or teams of two, and the latter being contested on a flatwater course in distances of 200, 500 or 1,000 meters in teams of one, two or four. The competition is divided into two classes: canoe, in which competitors kneel and use a single-bladed paddle to move themselves along; and kayak, where competitors are seated in the boat and can use both ends of a paddle. Sixteen gold medals are awarded in the two classes. In slalom, look for the Slovak tandem of Pavol and Peter Hochschorner, three-time Olympic gold medalists, to dominate the two-person canoe event. In the canoe single, Beijing silver medalist David Florence of England has a reasonable shot at moving up to gold, while single kayakers Alexander Grimm (gold medal in 2008) of Germany and the U.K.’s Campbell Walsh (silver in ‘04) figure to once again collect hardware.

The most unpredictable sport Soccer, or “football,” as it’s called in the host country – and in every other country outside of the States, for that matter – is played on an outdoor field, with 11 players on each team trying to put the ball in the opposition’s net, and the side with the most goals after 90 minutes wins. Two gold medals are awarded in men’s and women’s soccer.
Perhaps more so than with any other sport at these games, unpredictably is the order of the day – for a number of reasons. One is cultural. In countries such as Brazil and Spain, a gold medal in soccer is a matter of national pride. But in England, with its myriad professional leagues, the Olympic game does not have the same prestige. As for teams to watch, recent history suggests
two-time defending goldmedalists Argentina, Brazil, Spain, Italy and Nigeria have the best chance to make the medal matches on the men’s side, along with the
Page 7 hometown Brits. On the women’s side, the Americans are the two-time defending Olympic champs, and they’ll likely see challenges from Brazil, Germany, Sweden, Norway and, yes, the Brits. Look for players such as England’s Daniel Sturridge, Spain’s Bojan Krkic, Brazil’s Alexandre Pato and Anita Asante of the U.K. to be factors for their respective teams.
Hope Solo of the U.S.
Maximilian Muller of Germany
Field hockey is played on a 91.4-by-55 meter field by two teams of 11 players. The 12 teams in each gender are divided into two pools of six, with the top team in each pool meeting for the gold medal. On the men’s side, look for 2008 gold medalists Germany to vie for the top spot once again with ’08 bronze winner Australia and the Netherlands.
Valentina Vezzali Nikola Karabatic of France
Two fencers in protective gear do combat in view of a referee, who measures scoring with an electronic assist. There are 10 events (three individual and two team in men’s and women’s) and three weapons – epee, foil and sabre. In the men’s competition, China’s Sheng Lei is the favorite in the epee, while Germans Joerg Fiedler and Nicolas Limbach will vie for gold in the foil and sabre, respectively. On the women’s side, five-time gold medalist Valentina Vezzali of Italy will look to close out her career with a sixth in foil.
In handball, teams of seven (six outfielders and a goaltender) move the ball by hand among teammates on a 40-by-20 meter indoor court, with the object of tossing it into the opposition’s goal. It is not unusual to see 50 goals in a regulation 60minute game. In the men’s tournament, expect to see current world and Olympic champions France on the podium, vying for gold with a field of contenders that includes Germany, Denmark and Russia.

Medals are awarded in each of the three disciplines (rifle, pistol and shotgun) with three events for men and two for women. Italy’s Niccolo Campriani, the reigning world champion, is considered a heavy favorite in the men’s 10m air rifle and 2010 world champ Peter Sidi of Hungary should get prime podium space in the 3X40m rifle.
The British are coming!
Cycling is divided into four disciplines each in men’s and women’s: track, road, BMX and mountain bike. There are 10 events in track (individual and team sprints, team pursuit, keiren and omnium), four in road (road race and time trial), and two apiece in BMX and mountain. Eighteen gold medals are awarded in the various events. Much is expected of the British on their home turf. In track, look for four-time gold medalist Chris Hoy to vie for his fifth in the individual sprint, while Englishwoman Victoria Pendleton will certainly be a contender for her second gold in the women’s event. Hoy will also be a threat to medal in the keiren, as should the U.K.’s Lizzie Armitstead in the women’s omnium. Favorites in the men’s team pursuit include the Australian tandem of Cameron Meyer and Jack Bobridge, and the French duo of Gregory Bauge and Kevin Sireau. In road racing, watch out for 2008 gold medalist Nicole Cooke, ’08 silver medalist Emma Pooley and Armitstead – all from the U.K. – as well as five-time world champion Marianne Vos of the Netherlands.

In Olympic basketball, the games are similar to the NBA’s, except games are divided into four 10minute quarters instead of 12. The tournament follows the established format of 12 teams divided into two pools of six, with each team playing every other team in its group, and the top four squads from both
groups qualifying for the quarterfinals. Gold medals are awarded in men’s and women’s basketball. In the men’s game, it’s all about the United States. As in years past, the American squad brings everything: scoring (Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony), rebounding (Tyson Chandler, Chris Bosh, Anthony Davis, Blake Griffin), playmaking ability (Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, Deron Williams), defensive presence (Chandler, James, Paul, Bryant) and highlight-film potential (Blake Griffin, Dwyane Wade). And they’ll have a legendary coach, Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, blending all the parts into what they hope is a seamless package. In fact, ever since
Page 9 Olympic basketball allowed professionals to compete beginning with the 1992 Dream Team, the Americans have dominated the Games, winning gold in four of five Olympics – the lone exception being the 2004 bronze flameout in Athens. Teams vying for podium space alongside the Americans include Spain (with
Kobe Bryant
NBA players Pau Gasol, Juan Carlos Navarro and Rudy Hernandez), Brazil (Leandro Barbosa, Nene, Anderson Varejao), Argentina (Manu Ginobili, Carlos Delfino, Luis Scola) and China (Yi Jianlian). Lithuania, Serbia and France also are expected to be competitive.

The women make their debut BY GEORGE DICKIE
Queen Underwood
Gold medals are awarded in 10 weight classes (light flyweight to super heavyweight) in men’s boxing and three (flyweight, lightweight, middleweight) in women’s for a total of 13. Male bouts take place over three three-minute
rounds, while women’s fights are contested over four two-minute rounds. London marks the debut of women’s boxing at an Olympic games. On the women’s side, five-time World Champion Mary Kom of India is the favorite at flyweight, though Nicola Adams of the U.K. will have plenty of hometown support. Lightweight should be particularly entertaining, especially if Ireland’s dominant Katie Taylor and USA’s Queen Underwood meet in the gold-medal match. Canada’s three-time World Champion Mary Spencer is a threat for gold at middleweight.
Misato Nakamura
Fourteen medals are awarded to men and women in seven weight classes. Japan should be in line for a few pieces of hardware with Beijing bronze medal half-lightweight Misato Nakamura, 2010 and ’11 world champion lightweights Kaori Matsumoto and Aiko Sato, and 2010 world championship bronze-medal heavyweight Megumi Tachimoto leading the charge for the women’s team.

It had better since the media in that country has said anything less would be tantamount to treason. Hwang Kyung-Seo and Cha DongMin, gold medalists in 2008, should be in the mix again. So should Wu Jingyu (’08 gold medal) and Hou Yuzhuo (2009 world champion) of China, Steven Lopez (gold medals in 2000 and 2004) of the United States, and Yousef Karami (2004 bronze medal) of Iran.

Return to Wimbledon To get an idea of the tennis players at the Olympics, one need only look at the ATP and WTA rankings. In singles, the world’s top 56 players as of June 2012 gain automatic berths, along with eight wildcard picks, and each country is allowed four entrants. In doubles, the top 24 pairs qualify plus eight wildcards. The format is knockout, with the winners of the semifinals facing each
Morning Journal • Summer Olympics 2012 other at – where else? – Centre Court of the All England Club at Wimbledon. Five gold medals are awarded in men’s and women’s singles and doubles, and mixed doubles. In men’s singles, Spain’s Rafael Nadal is the defending Olympic champion, a title he won on the hard courts in Beijing. He’s comfortable on the grass of Wimbledon, having won two titles there, but so is Serbia’s Novak Djokovic, the current London champ. Look for these two to vie for gold, along with Andy Murray, who could get a bump from the hometown English crowd. In women’s singles, American Serena Williams is a four-time Wimbledon champ,
so she should be a heavy favorite here – except there is that puzzling first-round ouster at the 2012 French Open. If she’s not in top form, look for gold medal bids to come from the Czech Republic’s Petra Kvitova – the reigning Wimbledon champ – Belarus’ Victoria Azarenka and Russia’s Maria Sharapova.
Rafael Nadal
Wang Hao
Four medals are handed out in men’s and women’s singles and team. As it has since the sport’s debut in 1988, China will likely dominate the podium, counting five of six of the world’s top-ranked men’s players and four of six on the women’s side. Wang Hao and Zhang Jike will represent the men in both singles and doubles.

Like that other raquet-centric sport, tennis, badminton falls into three categories: men’s and women’s singles and doubles, and mixed doubles. Reigning Olympic champion Lin Dan of China and Malaysia’s Lee Chong Wei seemed a shoe-in for the men’s singles gold-medal match until Wei tore an ankle ligament. Now it’s Dan’s title to lose. Americans Tony Gunawan and Howard Bach could have a shot at hardware in men’s doubles, as should the (at this writing) unnamed tandem from Denmark, a traditional power. England could also wind up on the podium in mixed doubles with Chris Adcock and Imogen Bankier.

Usain bolts for history Athletics is divided into three disciplines: running, jumping and throwing. In running, there are men’s and women’s running and walking events ranging in distances from 100 meters to 50 kilometers. Included in those are hurdles, relay and steeplechase events, along with decathlon and heptathlon. Twenty-nine gold medals are awarded here. In jumping, there are long-,
high- and triple-jump events, plus pole vault, heptathlon and decathlon. Eight gold medals are awarded to male and female athletes. And the throwing sports consist of men’s and women’s events in javelin, hammer, discus and shot put, plus decathlon and heptathlon. Eight golds are awarded here. Running gets the lion’s share of attention once again in London, where Jamaica’s Usain Bolt will try to break his own records in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay. In Beijing in 2008, he set world records in the 100m (9.69 seconds) and 200m (19.30 seconds), marks he would surpass a year later at the World Championships in Berlin (with, respectively, 9.58 and 19.19 second finishes).

He’ll have formidable competition in London in USA’s Tyson Gay, who won world championships in those events at the 2007 Worlds, and Frenchman Christophe Lemaitre, who won all three at the ’11 Worlds. On the women’s side, the 200m event sees 2008 silver medalist Allyson Felix of Team USA renewing her rivalry with Jamaican gold medalist Veronica Campbell-Brown, while the marathon brings world
record holder and three-time New York Marathon champ Paula Radcliffe of the U.K. back to the Olympics for a sixth time as she seeks her first gold.

All about position Wrestling is divided into two disciplines, freestyle and Greco-Roman, with both men and women competing in the former and only the men vying in the latter. Eighteen gold medals are awarded in seven weight classes in each discipline for the men, and four go to the women in freestyle. In the men’s freestyle, Henry Cejudo of the United States will defend his 2008 gold in the 121-pound class,
Morning Journal • Summer Olympics 2012 while at 132 pounds, Russian Besik Kudukhov should vie for hardware with USA’s Franklin Gomez and Japan’s Kenichi Yumoto. At 145.5 pounds, look for Iran’s Mehdi Taghavi to dominate, while USA’s Jordan Burroughs seeks his first gold in the 163-pound division. The three heaviest classes are all wide open, but Azerbaijan’s Sharif Sharifov, USA’s Jake Varner and Russia’s Bilyal Makhov should make the podium at 185, 211.5 and 264.5 pounds, respectively. In Greco-Roman, Azerbaijani Rovshan Bayramov – the 2011 world champion and ’08 Olympic silver medalist – is the clear-cut favorite in the 121pound class, while at 132 pounds, Russian Islambek Albiev will see challenges to
his 2008 gold medal from Kazakh Almat Kebispayev. Frenchman Steeve Guenot, the Beijing gold medalist, will try to fend off challenges from Justin Lester – if the American stays in the 145.5pound class; if not, he’ll be his brother Christophe’s problem at 163 pounds. Besik Kudukhov

This simple test of raw human strength has athletes performing two types of lift: the clean and jerk, and the snatch. In the clean and jerk, competitors must lift the barbell from the floor to the chest and then overhead. In the snatch, the barbell is raised from floor to above the head in one motion. Fifteen gold medals are awarded in eight weight classes for men and seven for women. On the men’s side, China will be the favorites for gold in the 123-, 137- and 152-pound divisions, though Vietnam’s Hoang Anh Tuan should be a factor at 123 pounds. In the 170pound class, South Korea’s Sa Jae-Hyouk will defend his 2008 gold medal from challenges by several Chinese competitors, while the 187pound division should come down to USA’s Kendrick Farris and China’s Lu Yong. The 207-pound competition is considered wide open, with 2008 gold medalist Ilya Ilyin of Kazakhstan and Russia’s Artem Ivanov, the ’08 silver medal winner, heading the field. Russian lifters should bag hardware in the 231-pound division, while Iranians Behdad Salimi (the world record holder in the snatch) and Sajjad Anoushiravani should dominate the 231-poundplus class.

USA flexes its beach muscles Volleyball is actually two sports: indoor and beach. In indoor volleyball, two teams of six (men and women) vie on a 60-by-30 foot court, divided by a net (2.43m high for men; 2.24m high for women). Points are scored when the opposing team fails to
Lena Schoneborn
Modern Pentathlon consists of five sports – fencing (every athlete must fence every other athlete in sudden-death bouts), swimming (200m freestyle), riding (negotiating a 12-jump course) and the combined running/shooting discipline – which athletes must complete in one day. Germany’s Lena Schoneborn, the gold medalist from the 2008 Games in Beijing, heads a list of podium hopefuls that also includes competitors from France, Hungary and Russia on the women’s side. In the men’s competition, two-time defending gold medalist Andrei Moiseev of Russia should vie for top honors with athletes from Hungary, Belarus and Lithuania.
return a volley, the ball hits the floor on the opponents’ side of the net, or the opponent hits the ball out of bounds. The team that won the previous point always does the serve. Two gold medals are awarded for men’s and women’s. In beach volleyball, the setting is similar to indoor, except the court is smaller, outdoors, on sand, and the teams are of two instead of six. Two gold medals are awarded for men’s and women’s.
Alistair Brownlee
Triathlon tests an athlete’s overall abilities. The 55 athletes in the men’s and women’s competitions must complete a 1,500m swim, a 40km bike ride and a 10,000m run. England’s Alistair Brownlee, the current European champion, is the class of the field on the men’s side. He’ll be challenged by Spain’s reigning world champ Javier Gomez, Russia’s Alexander Brukhankov, and Steffen Justus and reigning Olympic champion Jan Frodeno of Germany. In the women’s race, look for Emma Moffatt of Australia, Switzerland’s Nicola Spirig and Daniela Ryf, England’s Helen Jenkins, USA’s Sarah Groff and Canada’s Paula Findley to vie for hardware.
Page 17 On the women’s side, the gold-medal conversation begins and ends with the USA tandem of Misty MayTreanor and Kerri Walsh Jennings, who are the twotime defending Olympic champs.

Equestrian is broken down into three main events: dressage, show jumping and eventing. In show jumping Marcus Ehning of Germany, Kevin Staut of France and USA’s McLain Ward should be in line for podium space on the men’s side, while Americans Beezie Madden and Reed Kessler should be tops among the women.
