August 7, 2012

Cameras of every variety, technology, size and shape are everywhere here in London for the Olympics. iPhones, Blackberries or other smart phones, pocket digital cameras, Go Pros, or gear with bigger lenses are flashing or clicking nearly non-stop. They are documenting moments for countless thousands at or around the games; images that will be a […]

One on One Jane’s Olympic Journal Day 9: Meeting the 2012 Dream Team (part 1)

August 6, 2012

To see the Dream Team 2012 dominate in the competition — and then that nail biter game against Lithuania — are elements the excellent broadcasters can handle. But to

One on One Jane’s Olympic Journal Day 8: The Picture I Didn’t Take and the Ones I did.

August 5, 2012

Friday morning, riding a quiet Light Rail train with my friend Laurene, we sat across from two very tall men in their red and yellow team uniforms wearing official Olympics badges. They looked like athletes, so I started a conversation. “Where are you from?” “Tunisia.”And what sport? “Volleyball,” they said in fairly thick accents. “Have

One on One Jane’s Olympic Journal Day 7: An Apple a Day… It just takes a minute…

August 3, 2012

Thursday August 2nd was a day of figuring out technology — again. Thank goodness there’s an Apple Store in several parts of London. A 3pm class at the store in Oxford Circus turned into a 4-hour session of how to edit and short-cuts for me, because the editing process is not my forte. For 15

One on One Jane’s Olympic Journal Day 6: A Volleyball Adventure

August 3, 2012

The ticket said 9:30. Volleyball. Earls Court. I had the best intentions to be there for the start, but exhasuted from the day before, checking emails, and eating breakfast put me behind. That delay equated to no crowds, and no lines; I was in between big activities for Olympic spectator and London morning Tube traffic.

One on One Jane’s Olympic Journal Day 5: A Little Train to Intensity

August 1, 2012

While all the main action is happening in the main venues and around the London area, I learned the U.S. had a training center for several teams who need to train, practice and have sports treatments prior to their competitions. Emily Cox, from the Olympic Training in Chula Vista, is also the media relations coordinator

One on One Jane’s Olympic Journey Day 3: Weather or not…

July 30, 2012

With the sun beaming in during breakfast, a summer dress seemed a good choice for a Sunday afternoon. But within an hour, the clouds rolled in, lightening cracked, and rain was on its way. No worries. This is London, and I had a plan to take a break from the busy Stratford area and see

One on One Jane’s Olympic Journal Day 2: A Walk Outside the Park

July 28, 2012

Saturday in London started as Friday night’s spectacular and uniquely British Opening Ceremonies, fireworks display went well past midnight. Friday the French friends I’m staying with and I alternated between watching the quality BBC coverage and leaning over the balcony (slightly) to see the stadium lights and action. When it appeared the flame presentation was
