Weather or Not Concerns over the wet British weather have been front and centre—especially after Great Britain recorded its wettest June on record. "Its only a bit of British weather," said Charles Powell, a spokesman for the Met office, the national forecaster. "Its naturally variable." But London Olympic organizers say they are ready for whatever Mother Nature brings."The main thing is that we are used to it and we have planned accordingly," said Debbie Jevans, director of sport for the Olympic Games. "It is something that is a fact of life. That is why our country is so lovely and green." Plans have been drawn to make sure organizers and spectators get the most up-to-date information possible. Weather forecasters will be working around the clock, providing long- and short-range forecasts for the event. Getting into Rhythm Widely considered to be a long shot to make the final at the London 2102 Olympic Games, the Canadian womens rhythmic gymnastics team proved they have the ability to hang with some of the worlds best. After reaching the final of the World Cup on Sunday, the six-member team finished in eighth spot, and were in contention for placement as high as fifth. "Our goal going into the competition was to make one final and in that final to compete with no major mistakes and we accomplished that," said Alexandra Landry of Toronto. "On day two we were much stronger and stuck all our elements with no drops." Other members of the team are Anjelika Reznik, Anastasiya Muntyanu, and Rose Cossar, all of Toronto, Kelsey Titmarsh of Thornhill, Ont., and Katrina Cameron of Mississauga, Ont. "With three weeks of training left until we step into the Olympic village, were already feeling ready," said Landry. Gotta be Dreaming Count American President Barack Obama on the side of the Dream Team. Obama disagreed with a recent statement made by Los Angeles Lakers and Team USA guard Kobe Bryant that the 2012 team could beat the Dream Team from 1992. "This is a generational thing," Obama said during the halftime interview of Team USAs exhibition win over Brazil on Monday. "I was around in 92, I was a Bulls fan, so Ive got to go with the original Dream Team." The Dream Team, which was formed 20 years ago and rolled to gold at Barcelona 1992, featured 11 players now in the Hall of Fame. "I suspect that Michael and Sir Charles (Barkley) and others would point out they were probably never down at any point in any of their games," Obama said. "But this is a great team, unbelievable talent." The president added: "You know, Kobes a competitor, so you expect him to do a little trash talking whenever the opportunity arises." jerseys from china .

The mixed martial arts organization will holds its first Scandinavian show in Stockholm on April 14.CAIRO, Egypt -- The Egyptian Football Association has cancelled the rest of this seasons league matches in the wake of rioting at a match last month that killed 74 people and injured hundreds of others. The league was suspended less than halfway through the season after the deadly stampede on Feb. 1 in Port Said following a match between Al-Masry and Al-Ahly. Egyptian FA spokesman Azmy Megahed said Saturday the season will not resume because there is not enough time to play the games before the national team is expected to begin training for the 2013 African Cup qualifiers and this years London Olympics. A number of Al-Ahly players have said they would not have played anyway due to low morale and because no one has yet been brought to justice for the bloodshed. Spokesman Megahed said that 18 teams, divided into two groups, will play in a friendly tournament in empty stadiums starting later this month. Megahed had earlier suggested that the tournament would help raise money for families of those killed in the violence, but on Saturday he told The Associated Press that it would be played primarily to appease sponsoors.dddddddddddd Al-Masry, which hosted the Feb. 1 game, will not play. The Port Said tragedy highlighted deteriorating security in the Arab worlds most populous country as instability continues nearly a year after former President Hosni Mubarak was swept out of power in a popular uprising. It was the worst case of football violence in Egypt and the deadliest worldwide since 1996. The violence began when fans of home team Al-Masry rushed the field following a win over Egypts top club, Al-Ahly, setting off clashes and a stampede as riot police largely failed to intervene. Egypts lawmakers are currently investigating who was behind the deadly violence, which underscored the role of "ultras" football fans in Egypts recent protest movement. Organized fans, in groups known as ultras, have played an important role in the revolution and rallies against military rule. Their anti-police songs, peppered with curses, have quickly become viral and an expression of the hatred many Egyptians feel toward security forces that were accused of much of the abuse that was widespread under Mubaraks regime. cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
