What will I be watching this weekend?
The Opening Ceremonies are the official start of the London Games & most people consider them a must-watch. The big story for me on Saturday night is the Michael Phelps-Ryan Lochte showdown in the men’s 400 IM, assuming nothing goes horribly wrong in the qualifying rounds earlier in the day. If Phelps wins, it’ll be a three-peat for him, as he’s left the last 2 Olympics with the gold medal in this event (one of the toughest ones on the program). Saturday night also marks Missy Franklin’s Olympic debut on the women’s 4×100 relay team. Gymnastics starts this weekend with team qualifying, but the nights that matter will come early next week. On Sunday, my attention is still at the pool for the men’s 4×100 relay. This was one of the more memorable events in Beijing, with Jason Lezak saving the day. This could be the night that Phelps ties Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina for the most all time Olympic medals (assuming of course, he medals in the 400 IM the previous night).  Also on Sunday, the US men’s basketball team, led by LeBron James & Kobe Bryant, take the floor for their first Olympic matchup against France.
