Best of luck to Spain in the 2012 London Olympics The 2012 London Olympics officially starts tomorrow, 27 July at 9PM local London time with the Opening Ceremonies. First events start the following day, 28 July, 2012. See official Olympics schedule and results HERE. Here, we'll discuss the Spanish athletes, their events and (hopefully a lot of) medals. We already know that Rafael Nadal won't be participating in Olympic Men's Tennis. That's a shame. He was to carry the Spanish flag in the opening ceremonies, but Spanish/Catalán basketball legend Pau Gasol will do the honors instead. Regarding Men's Basketball, the USA team is in GROUP A while Spain is in GROUP B. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see these two in the final together. Wouldn't THAT be great?!? Saludos, MadridMan

Yesterday, even BEFORE the Opening Ceremonies (which doesn't make any sense to me, but ooookay...), Spain lost to Japan in Football/Fútbol/Soccer 1-0 in the First Round Group D. That's a pretty shocking way for Spain to start the 2012 Olympics, the former WORLD CUP holder country! According to the Spanish Football Team Roster, NONE (or almost none) of the players from the the EuroCup or World Cup are on the Olympic team. The ONLY name I even recognize is Jordi Alba. Can anyone explain this to me? Tonight's the Opening Ceremony! I might just watch. Saludos, MadridMan

So the soccer games are for players only 23 years old and younger - but the basketball teams can be any age?!? That doesn't make much sense to me.
Saludos, MadridMan
