It’s 2012. It’s under 200 days to the Olympic Games. And there’s no better time to be a fitness freak in London.
Whether it’s the wet stuff you’re into (sailing, swimming, diving, rowing or waterpolo – invented as an aquatic form of rugby), the awe-inspiring flexible strength of the world’s greatest gymnasts, the sleek power of the cyclists or the bulk, brute strength of the weightlifters and wrestlers, there is something for everybody. And the triathlon (which we at Total Fitness Music are fond of ourselves) combines three in one for those who really do like a bit of everything!
Our Great British hopefuls include Jessica Ennis, Britain’s dream heptathlete and former World Heptathlon Champion, who currently holds the titles of European Heptathlon and World Indoor Pentathlon Champion.

Tom Daley, the 17 year old 2009 World Champion (he was 15 at the time), also scooped two golds at the Commonwealth Games in 2010 and last year racked up two golds and a bronze for synchronised diving in British and World championships, along with a handful of silver medals for events across the globe.
Our other top chances are Chris Hoy, triple Olympic Gold swimmer and three times world champion and Gemma Spofforth, 2009 World Champion for 100m backstroke.

Who are your favourites to win? What do you think of Great Britain’s chances at gold this year? Could Tom or Jessica bring it home for us, on English soil?
