Why wait for London 2012 when we can have our own version of the Olympics in Mazabuka. The main sports were table tennis (Olympic already) and pool and darts (maybe entrants sometime in the future if they are ever seen to be sports!). The competing nations ranged from established beasts like Germany and Canada to the obscure like St Lucia, and then to the non-existent like Gibraltar and Alaska (geography was not the best subject for one member of the organising committee). In true Olympic spirit there were lots of competitors just happy to be there and join in with a few medals handed out to the more successful pairs; general amusement and fun all round. Next time for the Winter Olympics it will be wheel barrow races and three-legged sprints.
