There are really a lot of things I'm looking forward to watching in this year's Olympics. The table tennis tournament, the football matches, the men's 100-meter dash, the Judo tournament, and both men's and women's marathons, just to name a few. I'm also looking forward to seeing some of the famous places or landmarks in London that I'm sure they will be showing us on TV.

I am looking forward to the Olympic opening ceremony which promises to be unorthodox and eye-popping. The fact that it will be performed by Danny Boyle well-known for his audacity and imagination is quite enough to expect the unexpected.

Hi everyone. i am one of English learner from Mongolia. To be honest i was looking forward to meet my loved one after waiting during 8 months, meanwhile holding Summer Olympic at this stadium. We were expecting to watch all Olympic games together at his home in Moscow last August. But he had been given a special mission to somewhere 2 days before my departure to Moscow. Now i do not know where is he and what is he doing? Life is too cruel sometimes. Now i am looking forward to hear from him. Nevertheless, one thing i am pretty sure is that i will be looking forward to see next Summer Olympic in Brazil with my love )
