Cam Levins competes in London Olympics 2012 10,000 Meter Race

Cam Levins is from Black Creek, BC here on Vancouver Island near Campbell River.  He finished 11th — that is an incredible feat or is it feet?  His next race is the 5,000 meter on Aug 10th at 11:30AM local time.. go Cam!!  Here’s a link to an article about Cam and also the Gold Medal winner, Farah, from Great Britian.

 I may be in to Olympic Overload by now, but here’s a really cool picture from today’s coverage of the Olympics.  I’ll add more stuff as I find it.

This link is to a show that Rick Mercer did on the Canadian Trampoline Olympic training earlier this year.  If this doesn’t make you laugh you’ld better go get your funny bone checked out!  Of course, maybe I’m a bit prejudiced, but Rick Mercer makes me laugh all the time anyway..  Now that Rosie has won her gold medal, it makes this even more appropriate
