My word. I still haven't packed. I leave tomorrow. It's 10.49pm. I'd better make this the snappiest Olympics news update ever.
MCDONALDS RECKON THE OLYMPICS WILL MAKE THEIR SALES RISE

DJ TIESTO TO PLAY OPENING CEREMONY

THIS OLYMPICS BLOG GETS RECORD NUMBER OF HITS
We've had 121 today and there's a good hour left. About 70 was the record before that. So thanks for stopping by folks.
NEWSFLASH! NEWSFLASH! ANOTHER COMPETITION ENTRY! THIS TIME FROM NOELLE!
As I was typing this, someone else just entered the competition (see below). Noelle has guessed at "track & field, taekwondo, basketball, swimming, diving, equestrian, table tennis, badminton, wrestling, weightlifting, sailing". Thanks Noelle, but just 4 right. Paul stays on top. And a total of 7 of the 11 events have now been mentioned.
Right. I really had better go and pack. How many T-shirts, boxer shorts and socks do you need for three weeks? (That's not another competition question, it's rhetorical.)

LET THE SEX OLYMPICS BEGIN
Spies tell me the big backstage attraction is free intranet for the athletes, which going by precedents set in Salt Lake City and Sydney, is essentially used as a dial-a-date service. Everyone gets a list of competitor names when they arrive... and as athletes get knocked out, the further into the fortnight you get, the fewer people are being policed by their coaches -- so Sodom and Gomorrah takes over. I’m told. Could you possibly confirm?
