Will rain play a spoilsport during the London Olympics?

It is supposed to be a SUMMER Olympics. But the weather in London does not care. To be fair, nobody informed them anyway, so they can not be blamed. But London is not just any city. The Englishmen know how to organize an event, although there are reports about their shortfall in security arrangements. But rain is the least of their many concerns I am sure. A good news: They said there is ONLY 30 percent chance of rain on Friday....

I think it could play advantage to some athletes, for example those from GBR will be used to training in our rubbish conditions compared to those where the weather is a lot nicer :P Also i was watching the BMXing today and if they had to ride in the rain i'd dread to think what would happen!

It is England! I hope it isn't raining everyday! But it is England. Keep your fingers crossed.

Send the rain to the states, most of the USA is having a drought and could use the rain for sure. In my area, we have had the hottest June on record and it looks like July will be doing the same thing. I hope for the sake of the athletes the rain doesn't create a disaster. They work so hard to get to be there, that rain can cause big problems for them. Especially the runners who take the chance of slipping in the rain and getting a major injury. I'm looking forward to view the events on the television. At least many of the events are not outside in the weather. Thanks for the discussion.

Hey i too believe that the way Wimbledon was heavily perturbed due to erratic rains, there is a possibility of rains interfering in the Olympic sports especially the ones that are played outdoors. They need to have an arrangement in order to prevent rains spoiling the games midway. What say?

Hmmm...yes that is certainly a thing everyone hopes for. We wait for these games for four long years and seeing it getting spoiled by rains will be a very sad thing to happen, to be simple. I hope if these are rainy months, London must have some arrangements for the same. They should try and conduct maximum of the games as planned. But I am not that disappointed considering that major interest of mine lies in indoor games.
