We've always held the Olympic Games, founded in 1896 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, near and dear to our hearts. After all, they are Opening Ceremony's namesake! And yesterday, as the world commenced its 100-day countdown to the 2012 London Summer Olympics, there was a big hubbub in Times Square. Whether your game is beach volleyball, wheelchair basketball, or good old video games, there was something for everyone. Athletes performed BMX and martial arts stunts, and were available for autographs all afternoon. I paid a quick visit during my lunch break to see what I could see.
