<p>London • It’s 10:10 a.m. The men’s cycling road race began 10 minutes ago and bikers zoom through Fulham Broadway in a massive clot. Thirty seconds later they’re gone, and so is the crowd. The security guards, however, will remain until the bikers loop back in five hours. They’ve been here since 2 a.m. and their shift ends at 9 p.m.</p>
<p>They’ll be on their feet the entire time, and they won’t have eaten a thing.</p>
<p>Naz Same, from Pakistan, and many of her fellow security guards are fasting for Ramadan, which began on July 20. Ramadan, the Islamic holy month, requires all observant Muslims to fast during daylight hours.</p>
<p>Despite operating on no food and very little sleep, their spirits remain miraculously high. “Working at the Olympics is like a dream,” Same said. Allama Iqbal, Same’s fellow guard, says fasting gives him spiritual strength to do his job better. “Eventually you forget you’re hungry,” he said.</p>
<p>In theory, this is precisely the kind of multiculturalism that gives the Olympic spirit its depth. The question is whether spiritual strength can also help the athletes do their jobs better. More than 3,000 Muslim athletes are grappling with fulfilling their fasts while competing in the London Games.</p>
<p>It’s not the first time that Ramadan has coincided with the Olympics. In 1980, Tanzanian track star Suleiman Nyambui took silver in the 5,000 meters while fasting. “Once you decide to do something, Allah is behind you,” he told the Huffington Post. Nyambui isn’t alone; many Muslim athletes have competed while fasting, saying that Ramadan improves discipline and focus, and therefore enhances their performance.</p>
<p>Still, many religious authorities have encouraged athletes to eat. Sheikh Ali Gomaa, grand mufti of Egypt, emphasized, “If one is ill or traveling, an equal number of other days may be substituted” (Quran 2:184). Clerics in Egypt and the United Arab Emirates have agreed that this exemption applies to Olympic athletes.</p>
<p>Mohamed Sbihi, Britain’s first Muslim rower, is taking a different approach. Sbihi has elected to buy 1,800 meals for Moroccan street children in place of risking his own Olympic dream, as well as those of the seven other men in his boat. “It is written in the Quran that those who are unable to fast either have to feed 60 people or fast for 30 days for every day that they miss intentionally,” Sbihi told the Daily Mail. “That worked out at 1,800 people or five years of fasting.”</p>
<p>Morocco’s soccer team — used to playing during Ramadan — has decided to fast together, against the behest of its coach, Pim Verbeek. “We must fast because this is an obligation and I think that God will help us on the day of the games,” said goalie Yassine Bounou to AFP.</p>
<p>Other athletes have adjusted their schedules for Ramadan. Judo star Hamid Alderei is training only after dusk. But the long summer days mean that dusk arrives around 9 p.m. Egyptian sailor Ahmed Habash has remedied this problem by fasting according to sunset in Egypt; he can eat starting at 7 p.m.</p>
<p>Coaches have found it difficult to persuade athletes not to fast, but some have come to the conclusion on their own. For Jordanian marathon-runner Methkal Abu Drais, fasting while training proved impossible.</p>
<p>“I tried after I arrived in London to train while I was fasting but I realized it is very, very difficult because I’m taking part in a race that needs a lot of energy,” he told AFP.</p>
<p>The Olympic Village is ready to accommodate the athletes, whatever their decision. It has provided quiet rooms for prayer and halal food, and dietitians are on staff to plan meals for the athletes.</p>

<p>London • The values underpinning the games are certainly noble, but on the surface, the Olympics sometimes look like a soap opera — security breeches, social media snafus, and dreams crushed on camera.</p>
<p>For those of you who didn’t have time to follow the commotion, here is a recap of some of the major drama that went down in the first week of London 2012:</p>
<p>• Pedestrian infiltrates the opening ceremonies</p>
<p>A random person, now identified as Madhura Nagendra, marched with the Indian Olympic team in the Athletes’ Parade on Friday night. This was easily the strangest part of the opening ceremonies, beating out the Queen (actually a stunt double) parachuting into the stadium, and a synchronized dance number celebrating socialized medicine. Luckily</p>
<p>for security, “The Lady in Red,” as she was nicknamed, wasn’t a vagrant. “We have been looking at security but she didn’t just walk in off the street. She was a cast member who got slightly over-excited,” said Lord Coe, chairman of the 2012 Olympics.</p>
<p>• Badminton player’s expelled after trying to lose</p>
<p>A scandal erupted on the badminton courts when eight women were accused of not trying hard enough. The hullabaloo started in the doubles match between China and South Korea, when both teams tried to lose to manipulate the draw. Their attempts were not subtle. The birdie was whacked to, fro, and into the ceiling 358 times.</p>
<p>Slow-motion replays revealed players holding their rackets by the wrong ends. The lunacy upset the crowd, which booed ferociously, and did not escape the officials.</p>
<p>After a disciplinary hearing held Wednesday, the women were disqualified for “not using one’s best efforts to win a match.”</p>
<p>Crushed by the announcement, the devastated Yu Yang of China announced her retirement from badminton. The double Olympic medalist vowed not to play again. “Bye, bye, my beloved badminton,” Yu blogged. She responded to the committee with characteristic fierceness, “What you’ve cancelled is not just a game, but my dream…you have heartlessly shattered our dreams.”</p>
<p>• Face of U.S. gymnastics fails to make cut because of ‘dumb rule’</p>
<p>Reigning world champion Jordyn Wieber scored better than 21 women who qualified to compete for the all-around gold medal last Thursday. But that didn’t cut it.</p>
<p>The International Gymnastics Federation has a rule that only two gymnasts per country can qualify for the individual competition.</p>
<p>Weiber was narrowly beaten by teammates Gabby Douglas (who went on to win the gold) and Aly Raisman (Weiber’s best friend and roommate). Weiber’s deficits were minor — so minor that she placed fourth overall in the qualifier.</p>
<p>Of course, the injustice of it all has escaped nobody. Her coach, John Geddert, was particularly vocal, “I’m basically devastated for her,” he said, “She has trained her entire life for this day and to have it turn out anything less than she deserves is going to be devastating. She’ll go into her little shell and it’ll be a whileuntil she comes out.”</p>
<p>A teary-eyed Weiber watched the individual all-around from the stands, and still got more airtime than many of the gymnasts competing.</p>
<p>• Malicious tweets to darling of diving pool leads to arrests</p>
<p>Tweets to Tom Daley have led to two arrests this week. The 18-year-old British heartthrob, with partner Pete Waterfield, finished fourth in the men’s 10-metre synchronized dive on Monday.</p>
<p>Following the devastating loss, Daley received a tweet saying, “You let your dad down I hope you know that.” Daley’s father died of brain cancer a year ago. According to the police, the series of abusive tweets that followed included a threat to drown Daley. According to the BBC, the police have arrested a 17-year-old man believed to be the perpetrator.</p>
<p>Quickly following the incident, soccer player Daniel Thomas was suspended for sending Daley a homophobic tweet. Thomas was arrested but later released on bail, according to a statement by the Port Talbot police. Thomas, who plays in the Welsh Premier League, is undergoing internal investigation.</p>
<p>Daley has apparently refused the suggestions of coaches to take a break from social media until his event Friday.</p>
<p>• Success of Chinese wunderkind leads to doping speculation</p>
<p>Ye Shiwen, 16-year-old from China swam unbelievably well on Saturday.</p>
<p>“I use that word in its precise meaning. At this point it is not believable to many people,” said John Leonard, the executive director of the World Swimming Coaches Association.</p>
<p>Suspicion struck when Ye finished the 400m medley in 28.93 seconds, smashing the record, and beating Ryan Lochte (and Michael Phelps, by the way), who won the men’s’ race. Ye’s freestyle phase was 16% quicker than her average pace — she grew wings, statistically speaking. Opinions are divided on whether to celebrate or scrutinize Ye’s achievement.</p>
<p>“Any time someone has looked like superwoman in the history of our sport they have later been found guilty of doping,” said Leonard.</p>
<p>According to the numbers, this is the only time that a female swam the 50m or 100m faster than the top male finalist. The controversy has already produced a backlash from the international community, who call the accusations racist and sexist.</p>
<p>Ye has never failed a drug test and said, “The Chinese team keep very firmly to the anti-doping policies, so there is absolutely no problem.” Arne Ljungqvist, medical commissioner for the IOC, was saddened by the accusations, “To raise suspicion immediately when you see an extraordinary performance – to me it is against the fascination of sport.”</p>
<p>• After sit-in protest, fencer refuses ‘special medal’</p>
<p>A fencing match between Germany’s Britta Heidemann and South Korea’s Shin A Lam left the latter crying on the piste for over an hour after a controversial loss. After their regulation match ended in a draw, the fencers moved into a penalty round, wherein the next touch would advance to the final for Women’s Individual Epeé.</p>
<p>But instead of continuing into another round, the clock was reset with one second. To the confusion and horror of all involved, in that second, Heidemann scored a hit and won.</p>
<p>After Shin was declared the loser, South Korea’s coach went to the judges, and Shin dissolved into a pool of tears, where she remained for 70 minutes awaiting the result of the appeal. “I don’t accept the result because I believe it was a mistake,” said Shin. In fencing, leaving the piste is a declaration that you accept the judges’ ruling.</p>
<p>Thirty minutes in, an official tried to persuade Shin to leave, but she refused. Eventually she was led off by security without a medal, but with the cheers of the crowd. The next day, the International Fencing Federation offered Lam a “special medal,” but Lam refused. “It does not make me feel better. It’s not an Olympic medal,” she said.</p>
<p>Both players went on to lose their subsequent matches, leaving Heidemann with the silver and Shin medal-less. Ukraine’s Yana Shemyakina won the gold.</p>

<p>LONDON — For the first time in London’s history, there aren’t enough tourists to go around. Thousands of visitors from all over the world are flooding England’s capital for the Summer Olympics, and tourist attractions are…empty.</p>
<p>“It’s bizarrely quiet,” says Andrei Beckwith. He works for City Cruises, which operates boats up and down the Thames between London’s most famous landmarks.</p>
<p>Tourists have proved too responsive to Transport for London’s (TFL) advice to avoid Central London during the Games. And while Olympic traffic has arrived as promised, London’s normal tourist trade has come to a screeching halt. And the go-to attractions are feeling the sting.</p>
<p>That the Olympics are providing a dip, not a boost, to tourism seems absurd. But TFL’s warnings of impending mayhem may have been too effective. Beckwith finds the whole thing very ironic. “They’ve sent us all these guys down from TFL to help us with crowd control, and it’s like, ‘What crowd?’ There’s nobody here.”</p>
<p>For months, companies had braced themselves for July 27, adding extra infrastructure and hiring personnel. “They told us all to get ready, ‘The Olympics are coming!’ And now they’re here and it’s totally empty,” said Beckwith, who had plenty of time to chat, “We’re over-prepared. We’re standing around doing nothing.”</p>
<p>Business has plummeted compared to this time last summer. “Last July, we had to close the pier several times because things got so crowded,” said Beckwith, who notes the numbers of passengers on each of the many vessels that leave the pier daily. “Yesterday the max was 168. These boats are made to fit 500 people.”</p>
<p>Nigel Hake, a Blue Badge London Tour Guide attributes the tourist drought to TFL’s focus on tube blockages and road closures, “All people hear is ‘Stay away from London; it’ll be so busy.’”</p>
<p>For months, signs on the Underground have warned locals that, come July 27, London would be a zoo. Londoners have been urged to work from home where possible to avoid hellish commutes on tourist-packed trains. The message has sunk in perhaps too well.</p>
<p>And they’re actually staying home. Chris Weed, a manager at the Houses of Parliament, who takes the tube into Central London, described her morning commute as, well, lonely. “Kings Cross looked like a ghost town.”</p>
<p>But Hake is optimistic. He sees the next week and a half as a minor blip on the radar, and thinks that Olympic publicity will cause tourism to rise long-term. “Foreigners will see footage of London from the marathons, and rush straight to their travel agent to book a holiday for next year,” said Hake cheerfully.</p>
<p>Central London’s self-imposed quarantine includes the Houses of Parliament, one of London’s most iconic sites. Diane Greene, a visitor assistant is nervous. “Yesterday and today it’s been absolutely dead.”</p>
<p>London hasn’t hosted the Games since 1948, and businesses aren’t sure what to expect. “We just have no idea when it will pick back up,” said Greene.</p>
<p>Venues that depend on tour groups have been the most affected. “Our advanced bookings are way down,” said Weed.</p>
<p>She explained that coaches from all over Britain were avoiding London, and attractions as big as Parliament can’t survive on walk-ins. “We’ve had less than a third of the people that we would normally have on a Saturday.”</p>
<p>But the Games are still young, and Weed remains optimistic, “It’s too early to tell, really. Most people have tickets for only one or two events and they’ll have to find something else to occupy their time.”</p>

<p>LONDON — Friday night, 80,000 people will flood the Olympic Stadium to watch the opening ceremonies — but very few of those people will enter through the roof. Annette Walker, a professional aerialist from London is one of thousands to perform in the spectacle, “Our Isles of Wonder.”</p>
<p>Walker, whose talents include aerial fabrics (performing acrobatics while suspended from silk) and tap-dancing, has the best seat in the house. She and her fellow aerialists spend several hours on a small platform high above the audience waiting for their turn to debut. “It’s actually an amazing view. It’s the best view of the show.”</p>
<p>Her group eventually enters from 40 meters above the stage. “I think people take for granted that because you’re an aerialist you’re accustomed to height.”</p>
<p>But for Walker, height isn’t the only thrill, “You get automatic adrenaline when you get into your costume. When we come out we have to go through the audience and it psyches you out. It’s a massive amount of people.”</p>
<p>Yet despite the height and the crowds, Walker says that she’s most nervous about the dance choreography. “That bit is quite energetic — it feels like I’ve got a marathon to run.”</p>
<p>Professional aerialists have muscles to match the Olympians parading below. Still, the original routine proved a bit too intense. “We had to adapt our choreography because we got way too out of breath,” she said.</p>
<p>Even with a bird’s eye view, Walker doesn’t have a complete picture of the way artistic director Danny Boyle’s £27 million spectacle unfolds. “The stadium is so big that you really don’t see the other groups,” she said. “I don’t think anyone apart from the main creative team knew the concept of the whole show.”</p>
<p>After months of practice, watching the show come together in the last week has been a revelation.</p>
<p>“During rehearsals you’re trying to figure out, ‘What is that bit there?’ Or you would hear some music and be completely puzzled,” she said. “But as the costumes and props have been added you’re like, ‘Ah I get it now.’”</p>
<p>Still, complete clarity won’t come until later when she sees it on TV herself. Until then, Walker will remain acutely focused on her own three-minute role in the three-hour ceremony.</p>
<p>This is Walker’s first professional aerial gig, and looking back, she says the opportunity still feels somewhat surreal. In fact, she couldn’t imagine doing it at all. Reality set in when she found herself auditioning.</p>
<p>“Danny Boyle was there, and I was very, very nervous because I’d not done harness work before. I actually got a bit stuck,” she said. “It didn’t go very smoothly so I had to do mine twice. But afterward this lady said to me, ‘Ooooooh you were so elegant!’ So I must have carried it.”</p>
<p>A few days later she was offered the role, which she attributes to her composure under pressure.</p>
<p>“As a performer you learn control,” she said. “People look for how you cope when things go wrong because you can’t guarantee that everything will go right.”</p>
<p>Indeed, not everything has gone right. With 10,000 volunteers involved in preparing for the ceremonies, it’s proved challenging to keep the details of the show under wraps. In recent days, rumors of a James Bond character parachuting into the arena, a duel between Harry Potter and Voldemort, and a Peter Pan appearance have all created media buzz.</p>
<p>According to Walker, performers, as well as organizers, are upset about the leaks. In an attempt to cool the rumor mill, Boyle released a statement describing the opening scene, “Green and Pleasant,” which will feature an idyllic English countryside complete with farm animals, real grass and fake rain clouds. But Boyle’s announcement only deepened press and public scrutiny — in the following weeks, the most common response to the announcement was “It’s going to be in shambles.”</p>
<p>As an insider, Walker disagrees: “It’s interesting to see the different things that reporters choose to write about; it’s completely out of context.”</p>
<p>Walker feels lucky that the details of her section haven’t been leaked.</p>
<p>“It’s a nice moment, when people figure out what we are,” she said. “When you see it, you’ll say, ‘That’s quintessentially British.’”</p>
<p>Forgiving the leaks, the ceremonies seem to be the pinnacle of successful organization compared to emergent security snafus, transportation anxieties, and other Olympic drama.</p>
<p>Managing thousands of people throughout hundreds of thousands of rehearsal hours is a logistical Armageddon. Just over a week ago, the ceremony was cut by 30 minutes to make time for the audience to take public transportation home. This decision upset volunteers, who have been rehearsing since March.</p>
<p>But Boyle has quelled concerns. “He blamed changes on himself; and he congratulated people on their patience and hard work,” Walker says.</p>
<p>If Walker is any indication, the overall spirit among performers remains high. “I’m super excited,” she said. “It’s the opportunity of a lifetime.”</p>

FILE This Wednesday, June 27, 2012 file photo shows the Olympic rings atop the iconic Tower Bridge over the river Thames in London, with one month to go until the start of London 2012 Games. The 2012 Olympics will showcase a much different London and a much different event from the 1948 London Olympics which was hosted amid severe austerity in the aftermath of World War II. This will be a $14.5 billion extravaganza featuring multimillionaire professionals and global stars like Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps, shiny new purpose-built venues and a revitalized east London. Britain’s biggest peacetime project also comes with a massive security operation. (AP Photo/Lefteris Pitarakis, file)</div>
<p>London • If the energy in the air doesn’t tip you off, the brightly colored pamphlets and smiling, uniformed information kiosk attendants will tell you: This is one big summer for London. With less than a month to go before the opening ceremonies, London is letting its colors unfurl in preparation for the Olympics. 2012 has been described by the Southwark Council as a, “once in a lifetime year of sports, celebrations, music and entertainment,” and the streets are already busy as tourists and Londoners emerge to take part in the summer’s offerings.</p>
<p>London’s jam-packed cultural extravaganza is already in full swing.</p>
<p>Festivals dedicated to literature, world music, stand-up comedy, and Shakespeare (to name a small sampling) will coincide with the wave of Olympic anticipation. In the month leading up to the July 27 opening of the games, just about every niche audience will have a world-class display to enjoy.</p>
<p>Throughout the summer, Southbank — home to Shakespeare’s Globe and London’s National Theater — will host the Festival of the World. A bank of rainbow colored sand is just one of myriad art installations dotting the pedestrian walkway, turning the margin of the Thames into a multicolored urban beach. Passersby can have personalized poems composed on site by a team of poets, sample street fare from across the globe, and learn acro-balance from professional circus performers — all within 30 yards, and all for free.</p>
<p>Just down the river from the Southbank hub, Borough Market, London’s most renowned food market, is gearing up for greatness. Already bursting at the seams a month before the games, Borough normally only opens on weekends, but the market will be open every day of the week during the Olympic and Paralympic Games.</p>
<p>A similar shift can be seen across the city, as leading artists from every discipline put on events for The London Festival. This truly overwhelming artistic smorgasbord will, “allow the whole of the UK to share in the excitement of London 2012,” according to their website.</p>
<p>The festival will showcase world-class arts to rival the sportive talent on display, offering theater, dance, music, that “promise to make this a once in a lifetime festival.” The list of nearly 12,000 performances on tap is truly staggering, with indoor and outdoor events going on every day in venues through the UK.</p>
<p>While central London is already in full flourish, the Olympic Park in Stratford remains partially under construction. But the formerly marshy and forgotten east corner of London has already undergone a miraculous facelift. The Orbit — a 115-meter metal statue — towers above the Park, offering views of the athlete’s village, and of Europe’s largest mall, which opened last year. Equally stunning views can be seen from a ride across the Thames in the Emirates cable car, which opened last week.</p>
<p>The city center is replete with banners and art installations lie around every corner, daring visitors to forget that the games are close at hand. But amid the atmosphere of celebration, security and transportation are still bracing themselves for impending chaos.</p>
<p>A big concern is that the Tube, London’s iconic 100-year-old underground system will bring the games to their knees. Despite a $10 billion investment to renovate trains, extend lines, and even offer free wifi underground, normal service remains unreliable.</p>
<p>To cope with the 6.5 million expected visitors, the TFL (Transport for London) website now offers advice for navigating anticipated high-traffic areas. Tables of predicted wait times and alternate route planning guides aim to help Londoners avoid the Central and Jubilee lines, which will be, “exceptionally busy throughout [the games],” according to TFL.</p>
<p>The outlook for air transport is sunnier. To direct the hoards, Heathrow has promised to dedicate extra staff and, “an army of 8,000 brightly dressed, trilby hat-wearing volunteers — called Team LondonAmbassadors,” according to the AP.</p>
