Olympics London 2012 : Top Athletes To Watch


Sport: 400m and 4x100m relay
Age: 25
Country: South Africa

The South African double amputee, Oscar Pistorius will create history on becoming the first amputee runner to compete in an Olympics. Popularly known as the Blade Runner, Pistorius runs on carbon-fiber blades.



Sport: Equestrian
Age: 71
Country: Japan

Hiroshi Hoketsu, at the age of 71, will be the oldest Olympian at London - in fact he's the oldest Olympian to compete since 1920, and the second oldest of all time. His first Olympics was way back in 1964, at the Tokyo games.


Sport: Javelin
Age: 30
Country: Paraguay

As a runner-up in the Miss Universe Paraguay competition in 2006, no wonder  Leryn Dahiana Franco Steneri hogged the limelight during the 2008 Beijing Olympics - despite finishing next-to-last. However, she recently took silver in the 2012 Ibero-American Championships in Venezuela, so perhaps she'll get attention for more than just her looks in London.
 


Sport: Weightlifting
Age: 19
Country: Kazakhstan

The double world champion from Kazakhastan, 19 year old Zulfiya has set her sights on the Olympic gold, and has a good chance to prove herself once again.



Sport: Badminton
Age: 29
Country: Malaysia

Chong Wei's road to gold at the 2012 London Olympics will be far from easy. Should he survive his scares, he's expected to face the likes of Simon Santoso, Chen Long and possibly even new World No.1 Lin Dan in the finals.
