Are your faces glued to your television sets watching the Olympics in Beijing?  I know mine is, especially when they pretty much show it on every channel these days.  I can’t get enough of watching sports that I usually wouldn’t watch outside of the Olympics.  It’s exciting watching young athletes doing incredible stunts in gymnastics, our US Women’s Sabre team sweeping the medals for the individual fencing competitions, and even Melanie Roach (Bonney Lake native) competing in weight lifting.  It’s been great watching the games, but don’t you ever wonder to yourself, “If only I took that beginners gymnastics class, or fencing class when I was younger — I would be in Beijing!”

Well, you’re in luck!  Although it’s already late for Beijing, you have a full 4 years to prepare for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.  If you want to hit the ground running for your Olympic campaign in London, check out the following list for classes in your area:
