    Great hair do, although it reminds me of that early 90s animated series "Beavis and Butthead."

    There is far too much regulations in the Olympics, a flag being too large? Are you kidding me?

    I worked out that "court 1" should be the TV court, as most of the British Interest and high seeds is on that court.

    I think that all courts are TV courts but it comes down to what your holder of broadcasting rights shows you. As far as I know all official streams need to be geoblocked

    shouldn't be a problem as they have 12 instead of 20 matches per court per day for the SS.
    The only problem is they have 3 sessions per day it must takes time to clear and security sweep of the arena after each session.

    Btw the cheapest tickets to watch all the group matches (the first 4 days) will set you up about 600 USD

    Did you know that we have 8000 torchbearers for the olympic torch relay.
    But the torch itself is for them to keep, but you can have a for a nominal sum of 200 UKP, around 300 USD
