Live from the Olympics

We arrived this morning in London on the Eurostar Chunnel Train and check-in at the Mandarin Oriental hotel near Hyde Park London.

BT has really rolled out the red carpet for this event. The room is beautiful and actually smells like mandarin oranges.

We went to the BT Tower for an overview of the behind the scenes look at the technology behind the Olympics and then had lunch in the rotating lounge atop the BT tower.

This afternoon we headed over to Olympic Park an spent a few hours in the BT Hospitality Pavilion watching a variety of events on live feeds.

The Aquatics pavilion is next to the hospitality pavilion and we made our way over. Our seats are on the "50-yard" line and we have a great view of the pool.

Michael Phelps is swimming in his final individual event - the 100M Butterfly - in which he is favored to win.

More to follow - the event starts in 5 min.
