Countdown clock reaches ZERO

Posted by Kevin Doak on Saturday at: 11:11am (July 28th, 2012)

I arrived at the pool Friday afternoon, walked on the pool deck to see the 2012 London Olympics coundown clock, the one I have watched since it said 472 days display 2 minutes, 38 seconds.  I grabbed my camera and videotaped the final moments of the coundown as 30 of my fellow teammates watched.  Although it was a bit anticlimatic, it was mildly exciting to finally see it reach zero.  Everybody on the deck counted aloud for the last 10 seconds.  I was glad to be a part of the mini event after staring at that clock for the past year of my life.  Apparently the clock for Rio 2016 Olympics will be installed tomorrow.  Looking forward to it!
