Yup. I'm waiting for my e-mail to apply for tickets.

From Cosport.com (for U.S. people):

I'm nervous and psyched to see if I get anything.

I learned from Vancouver that there is absolutely no point in applying for non-medal events. Those are pretty easy to get and quite possibly for below face-value.

I'm only going for medal events, specifically swimming, track and gymnastics.
We'll see.

kramwest1 · 06-02-2011, 11:37 AM

After submitting a request for 22 tickets to 11 events, I got my notification that I was awarded 2 tickets--pretty lucky considering how many requests CoSport said they had.

But, if you were to pick the only 2 tickets that you would receive, which event would be the most awesome news?

2 tickets to the Men's Gold Medal Football Match? Holy Shit!!!

I don't know if we'll make it, but that was a nice surprise.

I may pass through South Korea next summer. I'll see if it's worth more of my time later.

Sochi, Russia ain't looking good for me in 2014, and it ain't looking good for them either. I don't know the latest, but Heather has been following it in the international construction trade pubs (her life is seriously glamorous

), and I think the IOC is nervous.

It's a little UK-centric and male.

Bring back the androgynous, nebulous Olympic creatures that we all know and love.

I wonder if that Equatorial Guinea record still stands.

No David Beckham for Team GB...that sucks. I'm more excited for the women's tourney, but would've been more interested in the men's to see if he could medal.

I think Brazil will get their first soccer/football men's gold medal (how have they not yet?!). Silver to GB & Bronze to South Korea (bold pick).
Women's - Gold to USA, Silver to Japan, Bronze to Great Britain. Well, England + 2 Scots. Pretty open though - Canada, Brazil, France or Sweden could medal too. Will get some Women's World Cup rematches.

Getting real close now. Cannot wait.

Phelps vs Lochte.

It is literally the best thing to happen to swimming since the invention of water.
