Anyone ?
Surely some of you must be interested in the running events ?
How about you Canadians, are any of you coming over here to the greatest sporting capital of the world ?
Winter Games !!! Humffff!!!
Novelty events. 
Just kidding.
Should mention I have a young friend who was lucky enough to be selected to carry the Olympic torch in Turin.

That's where a bunch of very polite people from the former British Colonies get together and play a seventeen day game of Cricket. After the games they drink claret, warm beer and sing "Rule Britannia".
Just kidding !!!
Actually, its a world wide competition of the former British Colonies in a huge variety of sports. Can easily be compared to a "mini" olympics.
