Burning Rings of Fire

The Urban Swimmer turns on the telly and watches the Olympics.


TUS's isn't much one for world class swimming. It's a world he feels so far removed from in his own athletic performance that it's like a foreign language. That said with the wave of genuine euphoria that has ripped across London with the start of the 2012 Olympiad he felt it necessary to post something with the sunny mood that has gripped the capital. Step forward the US Olympic Swim team. Picking up on the internet phenomena of amateur sports teams posting mimed versions of  Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" (usually on the team bus), they raised the bar and came up with the video below; no doubt it will soon go viral. Judging from the astonishing performance yesterday of Ryan Lochte and the three other swimming medals they bagged on just the day 1 of the swimming - it seems to have done them some good. Expect things from Breeja Larson today. Anyone know if Adlington does Karaoke?
