But you have to admit, it is exciting, just like the fact that the shooting sports are at Royal military facilities and the rowing is (I think) at Eton, a boarding school so old it was founded by King Henry VI (son of the Henry V played by Kenneth Branagh in the movie and by Paul Wylie on the ice). British notables such as the Duke of Wellington (who defeated Napoleon), the poet Percy Shelley, and even Ian Fleming (creator of James Bond) attended Eton. All the romantic essence of Britain has seemingly been woven into the Olympics, just because they're using what they have lying around as part of their Olympic facilities.
