(Updated(Correction) 7/26: 2nd Olympic Games --> 3rd Olympic Games. Added a short line for 1908 Olympic Games.)
I wrote about Rio De Janeiro's Carnival. It's not always good because some pious catholic churches don't permit it as "Carnival." In their opinions, it's too obscene because people expose very much.
It's related to religion. Islam's Ramadan started some days ago. According to some news sources, some athletes from Islam countries worry about it because they strictly need to keep the lessens, and follow the traditions. "Winning" or "believes," if you are Islam people, which do you precede with Olympic games?

Watching news podcasts, I'm a little exciting to see the games. In the United States, now some magazines' covers are Olympic Athletes such as Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte. News articles always say about problems not only the wet weather in London, but the strikes, terrorisms etc.
Some athletes are very special for people. For example, Eric Shanteau was overcame cancer, and come back to the Olympics. Oscar Pistorius is with artificial legs. In the race, people see how his artificial legs become real legs. David Beckham is not a member of the GB football team, but he is on the opening ceremony.
On the opening day, "Big Ben" will ring 3 minutes from 8:12 to 8:15am. It celebrates the 3rd olympic games in London. I think people in London can't sleep late for it. (In 1948, the first olympic games after World War II was in London. In 1908, also the Olympic games was taken place in London.)

Here, when we watch sports lives, this song frequently plays. I think this song indicates one of the extreme parts of the UK.

The Great Britain is the football(soccer) country. It has a lot of sports pubs near dwellers. When the football games begin, I believe many GB hooligans visit like the pubs, and breathlessly, watch the games with glasses of Guinness, scotch, and cider.
Around 2005, some of these pubs became 24 hours open. However, according to some blogs, normally pubs do this before weekends. For the Olympic term, please check pubs homepage, or ask the receptions of your stay. They may have some information for you.
