Leaping into the 2012 Olympics.

          Summer is right around the corner, and you know what that means. It is the moment we have all been waiting for, the 2012 Summer Olympics to be held in London, England this year. One of the thousands of contestants this year is British long jumping champion J.J. Jegede.
         Jegede plans to take home the gold this summer for his country and make his country proud. Out of a promotional event for the 2012 mini cooper he jumped over 3 mini coopers which was only 6 meters. His personal best being 8.04 meters, which in the Beijing Olympics would have only earned him 8th place. Jegede will have to keep working really hard if he wants to bring home the gold this year.
       I think that's really cool this guy can jump that far. I can't jump that far so his ability to jump is incredible. I'm also super stoked for the Olympics this year I'll always stay up during the night just to watch the gymnastics and find out who got the gold.
