I reckon some sailing event and the triple jump. BTW the triple jump confuses me; hop, skip and a WTF shrugs:
Skeet was invented by Charles Davies, an avid grouse hunter, in 1915 as a sport called Clock Shooting. The original course was a circle with a radius of 25 yards with its circumference marked off like the face of a clock and a trap set at the 12 o’clock position. The practice of shooting from all directions had to cease, however, when a chicken farm started next door.

Source = http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/display.var.2423108.0.diver_blake_hits_back_at_teen_partner_tom_daley.php
SOUTHAMPTON diver Blake Aldridge hit back at teenage Olympic partner Tom Daley after the pair had a row moments before their final dive in the 10m synchronised final.
Following the dive, which saw the pair come last out of the eight finalists, Aldridge, 12 years older than 14-year-old Daley, blamed the teenager's nerves for their poor showing.
He revealed that Daley had taken offence to Aldridge speaking to his mother on the telephone before their last dive.
He said: "'There was a little incident but it is an Olympic Games, you are in a different world and people are going to do things differently.
"He had a pop at me before the last dive.
"I saw my mum in the audience and I asked her to give me a call and Tom went to me 'Why are you on the phone? We're still in the competition and we've got another dive to do'.
"That's just Thomas - he's over-nervous.
"Thomas should not be worrying about what I'm doing but he was worrying about everyone and everything and that to me is really the sole reason why he didn't perform.
"We were out of character, Tom was nervous and that's what happens.
"Certainly not so much for me, I'm a little bit older than Tom so I can take things on the chin a bit easier."
Daley, Britain's youngest Olympian for nearly 50 years, said competing in the Olympics had been a good experience but that he was disappointed with his performance.
China took gold in the event, with Germany finishing with silver and Russia bronze.
OK, the young lad should have been more focussed and shouldn't have had the phone with him, but if his idea of "taking it on the chin" is to go running to the media shouting "it's all his fault" he has a few things to learn

Peter Mark Andrew Phillips, who was born on 15 November 1977, and Zara Anne Elizabeth Phillips, who was born on 15 May 1981..
"Peter Mark Andrew Phillips (born 15 November 1977) is the only son of The Princess Anne, The Princess Royal and her first husband, Captain Mark Phillips. He is the eldest grandson and first grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
Born in 1977, Peter Phillips holds no royal title or style and is currently eleventh in the line of succession to the British Throne. After graduating from university in 2000, he worked for Jaguar followed by WilliamsF1. While working for WilliamsF1 in Canada in 2003, he met Autumn Kelly, whom he married in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle in 2008. Phillips keeps a low public profile, carrying out no royal duties, and currently works for the Royal Bank of Scotland in Edinburgh."

Celebrate the moment London becomes the official Olympic City, and join in with a huge party taking place across the capital.

New embossing
Mondo’s new surface embossing is the result of a careful analysis of a number of patterns, including biomimicry (patterns occurring in nature), geometric and technological. The new MondoTrack texture and tessellation pattern (no overlapping shapes or gaps) is the best solution for functionality, performance and comfort.
Optimal traction and greater area of contact
The irregular size and shape of the tessellation pattern has been designed to provide the best traction between the track and shoes spikes and for a greater area of contact than other track systems. This improves athletes’ grip and performance.
Easy to clean
The irregular tessellation design makes the track surface easy to clean.
Efficient water flow in rainy conditions eliminates water pools
The irregular tessellation design, with its highly efficient water drainage channels, eliminates water pools, ensuring optimal traction in all weather conditions for excellent athletic performance and maximum safety.
Harmonious aesthetic design
The irregular tessellation design provides more harmonious aesthetics than recurring or systematic patterns, which can have dissonant or jarring effects.
There's words in there I've never heard before eeek:Indeed.
Irregular tessellation design makes the track surface easy to clean. .

steeple
O.E. stepel (Mercian), stiepel (W.Saxon) "high tower" (related to steap "high, lofty"), from P.Gmc. *staupilaz (see steep (adj.)). Steeplechase first recorded 1793 (earlier steeplehunt, 1772), originally a race with a visible church steeple as a goal. Steeplejack "one who climbs steeples, chimneys, etc. to make repairs" is attested from 1881.

The minimum age for female gymnasts was increased from 14 to 15 in 1981, and up to 16 in 1997.
It followed criticism that young girls were being pushed too hard when their bodies were still growing - causing permanent health problems.

What's it gorra do with Southwark? Eh?
Each London borough is holding a flag-raising ceremony and there will be street parties, processions and festivals-The banners will go up at about 3pm on Sunday as Mayor Boris Johnson is handed the Olympic flag by Beijing Mayor Guo Jinlong at the closing ceremony of the 2008 Games.
It is expected that he will be watched by some 1.6 billion people worldwide as, joined by David Beckham, Leona Lewis and Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, he rides into the Bird's Nest stadium in a double-decker London bus.
London 2012 Organising Committee chairman Sebastian Coe said: "When the Mayor accepts the Olympic flag on 24 August, the eyes of the world will turn to London and the UK.
"It is a very exciting moment for us, and we want as many people as possible to join in the celebrations. We are delighted that so many local authorities share our excitement and are proudly displaying the handover flag to mark this very special moment on our journey to 2012."
