2012 London Olympics Blog

This year marks a special and very rare occasion for the sport of tennis and all of its patrons.  Not only will the All England Club host the Championships, but the most historic tennis and croquet club in the world will also play host for all Olympic tennis matches this summer.  That's right folks,  order a double shot of Wimbledon for the second time in All England Club history.

The only previous time was in 1908 when the All England Club hosted tennis matches at the fourth running of the modern Olympics.  The Summer Games did return to London in 1948 but the sport of tennis had separated itself from the Olympic movement.

Only 310 days until the London Olympics begin!  The countdown continues for the thousands of patrons and athletes across the globe who anxiously await the arrival of the Summer Games.  At Sports Traveler we are also getting excited for what looks to be a very special Olympics.  Soon we will see increasingly more news stories on high profile competitors like Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt, and the U.S. Men's Basketball team.

I can’t believe it’s time to start talking about planning trips to the 2012 Summer Olympics. Wasn’t it just 2010 and we were talking about Vancouver and what type of winter boots to pack when I go watch bobsleigh? Now, suddenly we are one year away from the London Olympics! 365 days!!! Ok people, remain calm, I repeat remain calm.

I have assisted over 700 travelers in the past 5 Olympics in planning their trip to the Olympics Games. I’m not saying I’m an expert, but I will say I feel I have heard from nearly every type of Olympic sports fan possible – from the Biathlon fan from Istanbul to the Fencing fan from Finland. The one thing I am certain of: that no matter the destination or distance, Olympics sports fans are willing to cross oceans and trek up mountains every 2 years to see the sports they are passionate for.
