Oops

Well, at least that's the short version. Out of 42289 tickets I've asked for, I've been assigned... three. Yay. Not. I'm not sure whether it's because so many people have applied, or so many tickets have been made available through the official website, or I've been very unlucky. Anybody with similar experience out there?

Anyway, I'm going to see weight-lifting 85kg on 3.08, athletics on the 5.08 (starring Usain Bolt in the 100m final!), and one men's handball semifinal on 10.08. Now comes the tough part - somehow filling the gaps between those three - let's see how that goes. Looks like an uphill battle at the moment, considering that the official website can't offer me much more, the national Olympic Committee of the country where I reside requires local nationality (no can do), and the one where I originate from raised all prices by 30% and can't really offer anything special either... I'll keep you posted!
