I think I'll be visiting England this summer, but not in July, so I guess I won't be attending.

Re: Tube Olympics 2012
You can participate in as few or as many events as you like. In the two previous games we had a medal table for the best overall performer.hopeful traveller wrote:Does one have to do all of these events?
I just have a feeling that my all lines efforts will come to nothing if I don't participate.
Certificates were awarded to those finishing in the top three in each event in 2008, and medals to the top three overall competitors.
