It will be interesting to see the security & threats against the event. Already there are threats of some beardy wanting to blow up a USA London plane (reported by Fox so maybe divide it by 100)

I like the storys of the down & out or refugee from xxxxx who train their brains out & makes the Olympic squad. 2x from the US that fit that bill are male gymnasts Danell Leyva (his parents were refugees from Cuba & wanted to be Olympians) & John Orozco from The Bronx & features in the 'Gym Class Heroes vid ' The Fighter'

the Rat is less about criminality per se but the importance and sheer fun of using one's intellect, skill and willpower to carve a survival niche into whatever inhospitable environment one finds oneself. Damn the imposed morality of the overlords. F
