Seems a bit earlier this time, the first week seems to clash with the end of the school term which is frustrating.

Memories os staying up all night to watch Daley Thompson in '84...in fact I think I was pretty much nocturnal for the duration of the games

Not convinced about the 100m being all in one day if you want to see the best possible final - the Olympics is meant to be the best of the best, and you want that in the final!

Happy to eat my hat should I be wrong.
