Westlake Magazine’s latest release, the July/August summer youth & sports issue, features this moment’s young sporting elite; Olympic veteran, Lenny Krayzelburg; and a hopeful to compete in the Games next year, boxer Stefanie Taylor. All of this sporting excitement is in anticipation to the 2012 Summer Olympics, which will be held in London, England. The lighting of the Olympic Torch will signal the beginning of the world’s best athletes competing in their respective fields. NBC Sports airs this official start to the Games on July 27th and will continue to cover all the action until the last medal has been presented on August 12th. Personally, the Olympics breed a certain fond excitement in me, as it has always been a time for my dad and myself to bond over watching the triumphs and tribulations of these exceptional competitors. Our chosen favorite sports to watch are women’s gymnastics and swimming! With over 30 sports to choose, find a few that the entire family enjoy, and take the journey with the athletes to Olympic success and stardom. Remember, go USA!
